I have done some digging, and am having trouble getting the answer. What are Cyanogen's Nightly builds? Everyone keeps mentioning these, but I would like some clarification before I move from Fresh EVO to Cyanogenmod 6.1.
...come to think of it, I may not be entirely clear on what builds are lol.
Thanks!
PS - I'm rooted with s-off via toastcfh's old directions, hboot 0.76.2000
Nightlies are builds with small bug fixes... think of it as someone finding small errors on the code for a day and then recompiling the ROM with those errors fixed.
A build is a version of software..in this case Cyanogen which has a nightly version or build of all compiled fixes etc for the 24hr period. Thus nightly build or version of all fixes for previous day or since last nightly build.
Thanks, appreciate the quick response.

Not really. They aren't really released as flashable patches. Instead, each night the rom is automatically compiled with the current sources. Some people get good luck with flashing these roms on top of their previous CM rom. They won't wipe their data in order to hold onto their installed programs. This could cause instability.
The other option for updating is to wipe everything and reinstall a fresh nightly. I'll do that maybe once a month if there are any good updates. Right now I'm running build 191 and things are running so smoothly that I doubt I'll want to change unless there's a new feature or critical bugfix.

Cyanogenmod Nightlies are available if you have Rom Manager Premium but you still must install them from there. Not a bad way to do it.
Very good. Now last question:
If I download the Latest Version from the link at the top of http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com does that automatically include the latest build (199)?
go here for nightlys http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?type=nightly&device=supersonic
and dont forget to flash gapps after the rom
Easiest way to get nightlies:
http://goo-inside.me/cm6/supersonic/nightly/ <--Scroll down to the last entry. This is my mirror which automatically pulls the newest nightly as soon as it's compiled.
Official mirror: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic&type=nightly
Check what's been changed: https://twitter.com/cmsrc
To flash a Nightly, just put it on the root of you SD card and flash it from recovery. You *shouldn't* have to wipe cache or dalvik, and after the nightly is flashed, you can flash your custom theme/kernel/whatever.
Also, the link at the top of the CM wiki is not the latest Nightly, it's the latest stable version (in this case, Supersonic-6.1.0).
EDIT: You do not need to flash gapps after each nightly, only the first time, or after a complete wipe.
its recommended to do full wipe before flashing a nightly, some of the updates might not be updated if flashing over an older version

Wherever you saw that is BS. 99% of the time, going from one nightly to the next, or from nightly to a just-released stable version, you don't have to wipe. The only time you do need to wipe is if there's a major framework change, or a bug that's been addressed, in which case people will say to do so in the Nightly thread.

It might be dumb to you, but I enjoy being on the bleeding edge when it comes to CM. Yeah, I flash a new rom almost every night, but I will also get the bugfixes and new features before you do. In my opinion, that makes it worth it.

As title says..what do you think is the best ROM? and why? I have finally rooted the DHD and I want to try something new
Pls suggests me
thanks in advance for the answers
Can't really comment on Android revolution as I have never used it, don't like sense and hadn't realised there was a no sense option.
Cm 6 is great and the latest release is very stable, but...
Cm 7 brings gingerbread I have had no stability issues, and have been running it since the builds where unofficially compiled from source, current nightly builds are great.
But everyone has different needs / likes, I have been a CM fan since I first installed it on my HTC Magic and it suits me, give Android revolution a go and see what you think you've nothing to lose except your time
yea you can't compare those roms
sense vs. clean 2.2 vs. clean 2.3
depending on what u prefer
some like sense, some like a full stable 2.2, some like to play test person and use 2.3 nightly
I used PNK22 for my day to day rom. For a time had no real problems with it other then no camara yet, this was and still is the only reason i am not using it today..

good
just a question..there's update manager or something like this in the CM7?
I mean, if I install build 18 then build 19 is released how can I upgrade?
download it from thread and flash or use rom manager (the paid version) to get notified and download it on your mobile + update

by simply installing the zip, you dont need to wipe anything as long as only a small amount has changed. Using rom manager or rebooting into recovery and installing zip with that will work.
but, if there is a large change you will need to wipe data etc. Just make sure you dont wipe your sd card
can someone give me a link to the "stable" version of cm7? the development forum is a bit confusing cause there are too many links of CM7 and I can't understand the one you are talking about
h t t p ://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=ace
There is not yet a stable ROM of CM7 for Desire HD.
I'm running Nightly Build #14 smoothly.

i loved CM7, but i also liked the integration with sense so i went with revolution, but i prefer the gingerbread keyboard
I'm currently running Android Revolution 2.0.8 with a few customisations of my own and I love it. That said I can't use a ROM which doesn't have Sense UI.
If I could put up with not having the additions that Sense UI adds to a ROM, I'd probably be using a CM7 nightly.
It's Revolution 2.0.9 now (fast developer ), but I find this best for my needs personally. It's all about individuality, so try each one you like the look of and stick with the one that works best for you.
Using oxygen atm. LOVING it lol. A few things I'm sure will be fixed next update but its so much better than stock. Any other roms recommended to try? I got the custom rom f
ever! =]
I like CyanogenMod 7.

I guess it's just as stabe as Oxygen.
And as far as I have read there will be no more updates for Oxygen before the OTA is out.
I have to say I haven't tried Oxygen, but I think they use the same source ?
Anyway rooting my Desire and putting on a custom rom is the best decision I have done for my phone. I have topped it off by putting on the CM7 Hboot, giving me lots of space for apps on the phone.

AFAIK Oxygen is maintened by AdamG.
Adam worked on OpenDesire earlier.

Yes maintained by AdamG, but the source is still the AOSP from Google.
And CM 7 uses that also.
They each have their own additions to the code, but I guess the core is the same.
I've also flashed Oxygen ROM first and than after sometime later MIUI-Au.
In terms of customization (UI, themes, options,etc.) and details, I can say that MIUI wins..
I'm glad I rooted my Desire since I don't have internal memory space issues anymore, only thing that maybe bothers me since I rooted my phone is that battery drains up quicker than with Sense.. maybe I'm wrong..
Redux RC6 - stable and fast. Im running it with the coutts .38 kernel and it's smooth....
There's always a bug somewhere for me and it is very annoying (no matter what ROM I use). So, I'm back to a stock Froyo (even though it is not my favourite!)

I did the same. i mean why to use a custom rom if you can't use your phone at 100% ( for example use camera or radio). ok you get more space, so what?
i have to confess i liked seeing my desire on gingerbread and if i find a close to custom full working rom i ll flash it again.
Yep, will it ever get CM 7.2? Are there any devs working on it? Just wondering.
I thought the unofficial builds by erwin and cobje are 7.2??
Officially though I doubt it now as arco and Jacob have moved on to better phones.

As per the CM Blog, It was planned to have a final stable release of CM7 to incorporate all the changes that have gone through since the last stable came out, and also since the nightlies stopped. However, now that CM9 nightlies have started, (For some devices), I don't know whether this plan (To get 7.2 Stable) is still on or not.
Basically, if you are already on the local builds by cobje / Erwin, you won't get anything else, apart from a "Stable" in the file name, and the ability to file bug reports on the CM bug tracker (Which will not help, given that CM7 is almost dead)
Ok thank you. Its just like senseonfire beta 0.4 0.5 etc. And jokerdroid 4.2 and 4.3
Tought it was like cm6 cm7 cm9, for every version another android version.
Question:
How do I extract the kernel from CyanogenMod 7.2, so that I can install it as a zip into a different ROM? Do I have to build from source?
Why I ask:
I'm trying MIUI (1.12.9 from MIUI.us), but it has a Bluetooth problem. It can pair with my laptop and can connect to send files, but it won't connect to a program I have (Type2Phone) that lets me use my laptop as a Bluetooth keyboard for my mobile devices. All I get is "Paired but not connected." CyanogenMod (7.2.0 and 9) and AOKP (official ICS) don't have this problem; it's specific to MIUI.
I think it's a kernel issue. This MIUI version is based on Android 2.3.5 and comes with kernel version 2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod-g9e5cdf1. If CM 7.2.0 (which is based on Android 2.3.7) final has a different kernel version, I'd like to try installing that kernel into MIUI if possible.

Have you tried it with aeros kernel? His .7 was the preferred kernel by many.

Ask reville. He had some old stuff on a site of his I think. If you can't get it from him I may have it. I am going to bed but I can maybe check tomorrow.
And look back at the miui thread and see if it was posted in the last few pages.

Download dsixda rom kitchen.
You can extract kernels using that.

Thanks, everyone. I ended up going with khamsakamal48's unofficial MIUI v4 ROM, which solves my Bluetooth problem and is really good. So far it's my favorite ROM, compared to stock 2.3.3, CM 7.2, CM9, and AOKP ICS. Between that ROM, Google Now for ICS (MIUI Now), a replacement MicroSD card I bought yesterday (previous one was defective), and finding out that my headphone jack wasn't damaged (works with earbuds, just not the big headphones I'd been trying it with), it feels like I've got a whole new phone.
