Nightly ROM CM7 and CM7 RC1 question.

What is the difference between these two ROM threads? Are the Nightlies more updated than the the RC1? Is the RC1 just a more stable release?
Just curious on the major differences between the two.
Thanks
Frank

Nightlies are just that, nightly builds that incorporate the newest changes. RC1 is RC1 and will not change but it should be more stable than the nightlies (in theory)

RC1 can be seen as a nightly that the CM team has deemed stable enough to be called a release candidate. However, RC1 has several issues which were fixed in the later nightlies and thus the latest nightlies are a better option than RC1.

Yep the nightlies are the builds that are automatically generated each night and the RCs are chosen from the most stable nightly

Q&A forum or the nightly thread would have been a better place for this, rather than starting a whole new thread

Dang it! I look in Q/A first and for some reason didn't find a post there...now you mention this to me and I did find a post with the same question.
At least I'll/we'll get more input...maybe. Thanks!

Should I flash CM7_RC2 or latest Nightly??

Ummmm.... which one should I flash??
Oh and why
Thanks =)

The Nightly's has fixed some issues in the last RC. Flash the Nightly.

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

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.

[Q] CM7- fail.

So, I have successfully rooted my phone and gained superuser rights. This was my first time rooting a phone. So, I get the cm7 rom from cm's website I. I put it on my sd card, and I go to flash it and it gives me some sort of error... Something about verification? If anyone could help out that would be splendid.
I have a galaxy s2 t989.

Our phone isn't on cyanogen mods website so u probably got the build for the wrong phone. Ur lucky it didn't install otherwise u would have a brick right now. Get the cyanogen build from the development section of this forum

Hmm...
Thanks for the info... glad I didnt brick my phone!
I found this Rom Cyanogenmod 7 Self-Kang For Tmo-Sgs2 Alphafied #2 2.3.7 Updated.. and the links were broken. Tried rootzwiki... broken as well.
Do you have any suggestions on a good build? I was looking for something with just gingerbread like the cm7 build...?

I would like good links to those too.
However, try this...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416445
It's a great Rom to hold you over for an official CM. Without trying Slayher's actual versions but reading comments I believe it might even be more stable than where he left off.

You are probably like me....
I came from the G2 and all I knew was CM7 (most roms based off cm7 in that section at that time). Once I got the Galaxy S II, I was sad that there was no completely finished and supported cm7 builds. I tried the ones mentioned and they do work for the most part but you have to turn on gps before rebooting or you lose audio in calls.
Anyways...long story short, try out some touchwizz roms. You will find that they are almost exactly like gingerbread roms from cm7. You can get a different launcher than TouchWizz (like ADW, Launcher Pro, Go, ect) and your basically there. The settings menu will look different, and some animations and tones will be a little different....(you can customize all of this stuff BTW!) but after I used it for a week I was used to it and I was over the whole Cm7 gingerbread look that I thought I had to have!
Hope this helps.
Anyways, l

Here you go

CM 12.1 as daily driver

There are some unofficial CM12.1 builds for our lovely ZL, one in the development section in this forum and some unofficial builds by freexp ( http://fxpblog.co/cyanogenmod/cyanogenmod-12.1/).
I'm going to switch to CM cause I don't believe sony will ever release 5.1 or at least a stagefright patch for our phone.
Is anyone using 12.1 as a daily driver? Are the builds running stable? Is there something that holds you back from using CM?
Thanks for your opinions!

Hi. I'm on cm12.1 for a month and its working fine.

Thank you! Any idea where to get a recent build? Fxp is a month old and in the build by qsnc some things are broken (chrome?).
I'd like to build it myself, but since I have a bandwith of exactly 384kb/s it would take years to download cm source....

I'm compiling my own. ☺
You can try the version on the radio active time fix thread.

It´s ok not the best !!!

I installed CM 12.1 from official CM site and run pretty good, sometimes i think that phone its over heating, especially when im playing some memory drain game. I trying now back to Stock 5.1.1 (xperiafirmware) but have problen when try to flash TFT in flashtool.
In my opinion, i prefer stock than CM 12.1, but its only my mind. (excuses for my horrible english)
