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.

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.
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.

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
im now on cm10, can i just boot into recovery do a full wipe and flash cm9 (stable) to my nexus?
which one you guys think its better cm10 or cm9 stable?
thanks in advance
There is no cm10 stable at the moment. The cm10 nightlies are stable enough, plus it's jelly.
Try it, thought it's practically the same experience besides os differences and project butter.

cm10 for sure, its stable.
project butter is too buttery not to use

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought CM10-M1 was a stable release?

Not exactly. While Monthly's are more stable than Nightly's, it's still not a "Stable Release".
So order of stability: Stable Release (10.0) > Monthly Release (10.0M1) > Nightly Release (10.0N38)
Source: CyanogenMod Blog
To OP: I would suggest you try out CM10 Monthly 1. Should be perfectly stable for everyday use. If you find instability, then go ahead and go with CM9. As far as how you flash it, yes, that's how you flash it.

Latest CM10 nightly is on 4.1.2. Even though it says nightly it is stable for everyday use, don't be scared because it says nightly.
Just try it. I'm always on nightly and never experience any problems.

Nightlies are stable for the most part, the only bad thing about nightlies is that coding the devs have done is sometimes merged without proper testing, which can cause some instabilities. This is NOT a dealbreaker though since the bugs often are fixed/rectified the next nightly.
Find a nightly you think are stable and stick with it

It has to be approved before being officially merged unless you use a unofficial version such as Jellybro. Although sometimes they are merged and then removed so yeah you are right to an extent.
Chances of instability are pretty close to slim as CM on Nexus are pretty stable. Although, if anything does happen--they can just say, "oh its a nightly."
What I'm basically saying is that, just because it says nightly... don't be afraid to flash or try it out! It is very much stable
Hi Guys,
I have found Cyanogenmod to be the most stable rom for my Desire HD. Which Cyanogenmod rom have you found to be the most stable/user friendly (7.1, 7.2, unofficial cm10 nightlies etc)???
7.2 is the most stable if that is what you're after. Although it's Gingerbread. CM10 is good enough for use as a daily driver with slight bugs. Personally I'd choose Jellybean over Gingerbread anyday.. but if you're really paranoid about stability.. go for 7.2

With regards Jellybean, would you recommend Cyanogenmod or a rom from another dev, if so which Jellybean?

JellyTime by randomblame is the best Jellybean ROM around at the moment to be used as a daily driver. Thanks to the dev its mostly always in sync with CM10 changes with regular updates and offers extra features from aokp and such. Stability is also good.

I'm using JellyTime as my Daily Driver since Release 9.1, had some of the dicussed Issues on the development Thread, (like randomly rebooting, and bad Music Quality on Earphones, but if you follow the Development, it's nothing that can't be fixed with a little effort;
Latest Release (R24) is running smooth and without any issues for me, after full wipe an a clean Install.
Some People reporting battery drain Issues, but this seems to be device-dependent, so you have a good chance that this Problem will not come up for your DHD.
Give it a try, and i suppose you will never go back to GB...
