Difference between CM9 RC1 and CM9 Nightly builds?
While they are both official release .

RC is a point in time where they froze the code and made a ROM from that. RC builds they accept bug reports from.
Nightlies is a daily built ROM with all changes the cyanogenmod team have done in the repo. Changes done on nightly build can break the ROM, so you use that at your own risk. It is also the reason they don't accept bug reports on nightly builds since one can accept things to not work when trying new code.

I've been flashing roms for maybe 6 months now, from galaxy s 2 to gnote, HTC eco 4g lte, flashed many many unnoficial CM9 roms.
Now I got the gnexus for about 2 days and am ready for root and flash .
Do you recommend the official CM9 RC1? As opposed to nightly builds?
I wanna just flash and chill until 4.1 becomes flawless.

It's like asking: What's the difference between an old nightly and the newest nightly?

Well, the RC is a stable code so there will be less bugs then with a nightly. But then again you won't get the bleeding edge that Nightlies provide.
So go with nightly if you wanna test the new things, and stick to RC if you find Nightlies a little buggy.

Cm9 RC 1 is old
Nightly is newer.
Cm team just gets tired of people *****ing about stable releases so they just call one of the nightlies as an RC. All the code freeze stuff doesn't matter.
Stability is exactly the same, there is no such thing as RC1 being truly stable.

Guess ill just test both and see which I'd like more. I ran some benchmarks on the stock and it craps out at 2200, while I'm used to seeing 50+ with previous devices.
Super lag even just scrolling screens from left to right.

CM9 nightlies are stable..
RC is just the 'official' tag to it.
treat it as open beta and close beta or alpha.

I wouldn't go as far as saying stability is exactly the same, but I do agree with RC's not being truly stable. Using an RC puts less risk on the user because in the nightlies they are constantly tweaking code and they could break something that was previously functional with all the changes they make. If you look at it like this, you would probably also say that an RC is more stable than a nightly.

I recently upgraded my Captivate to GN and have been enjoying Codeworx' rom since day one. Just wondering what the difference is between that and the nightly kang release? They both claim to represent the current state so is it just a matter of cherry pics in kang that don't make it into the codeworkx "unofficial official" version?

Didn't know codeworkx was working on the CM9 for Gnex or are someone confused?
/edit: Yup someone is confused... Namely... Me :-D

i think codeworkx releases in his build what he sees it needs testing, and for a more accurate user testing/feedback, he leaves most of the stuff out. if you follow his thread, you'll see how it's been.
the other kangs around, are either building on top cm9 ics branch using it as a base, or straight cherry-picking from github/gerrit, acting more as previews of upcoming features.
these builds are tagged experimental, even nightlies are experimental, and its users cannot report bugs to cm bug tracker.
Since I'm new to the Droid incredible 2, I wanna know what others think.
I'm running regular cm9 (aero) rite now and is fine, but I would like more options. I'm forcing my self to not flash ics miui

Honestly, cm9 is probably your best bet. Last I heard, our device specific aokp hadn't been updated in a while. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I run the newest cm9 by areo an miui ics. The newest miui is the smoolest an quickest ICS rom with the .9ics kernel but is harder on the battery than cm9 by areo. Both are really good roms for me aokp is not as smool as either of the other 2.
Aokp has been updated to build 29, which is based off of 4.0.4. It's pretty good overall. Most of the bugs have been worked out. I've ran it for a couple of days now, and really can't complain. Having said that, I restored back to CM9 tonight due to Aeroeven's newest build 4-4-12.
I use Ics reloaded with CM9, so I get most of the custom stuff that I like in Aokp, so really, Aokp and CM9 both work great for me. It's more just a matter of which do I feel like using today.
Digging the 4-04 Aerovan build and the latest Nitsuj MIUI build. I think Aero's build is a tiny bit somoother than the MIUI, but not by too much. Nitsuj is new at MIUI, but these builds of his are getting better and better.
Try them both.
Whats the most stable 4.0.4 based rom? I love AOKP and ive been running M4. But im looking for more of a newer system based rom. The battery life from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 i believe is a hell of alot better.
Flash the newer build of Aokp its rebased off 4.0.4. It's been out for quite a while

Android revolution HD 3.0.0 is awesome... although I think its pretty much the same as stock with a few minor tweaks.

Well you're like one of the only ones with issues. And the OP asked for a stable ROM , not a lame-not ROM. I'm personally running CM myself , just threw a suggestion let him test the waters and pick the best one that works for him.

Official CM 9, is bulletproof stable. And has longest lasting battery life out of the dozen ROM's I have tried.
I can't even imagine how awesome RC1 of CM9 will be.

Another vote for stock 4.0.4. Currently using my own build of aosp. Deodexed, rooted+busybox. Quite stable.
I've bounced around to several of the roms mentioned here and I have to say all of them have been pretty stable. I've used several for over a month, others weeks at a time. I'm on MIUI now.
All are pretty stable. The differences are the extra features and speed. Some stagger while others zip along. I'm sure most work well now. Most will have the same common extra features normal in a custom rom. Most of them look and feel the same after you get it setup.
My problem is I'm getting bored. The roms are so stable and perfect that I have no reason to flash and most devs aren't putting out many updates because of this. Only CM9 and AOKP update nightly. Others go for weeks. I'm was running Axi0m from March 4th. I finally got the itch to switch to MIUI.
I'm waiting on Gummy to release a new rom and Team Bamf.

Looks like CM has more popularity then i thought. Ive ran with 4.0.4 AKOP but it seemed problemmatic to me. I also run francos kernel. And always update to the latest nightly.
Maybe ill give Build 31 a shot again. Im tempted to try CM9 now though. Although i thought with 2nd init roms like CM9, atleast thats what they called them when i had it on the droid x. It was feature filled, but battery life was terrible.
AOKP b31- Francos Kernel
I recently bought my Galaxy Nexus. Immediately rooted it and tried a couple of ROMS. I was looking for stability with features.
I finally installed Milestone 4 and found it stable; however, not smooth or fast enough as 4.03. After seeing all comments in the AOKP thread I tried B31. Have been using it for 3 days with Francos Kernel Milestone 2.
I love the features, stability and smoothness with which the ROM works and have had no FCs or reboots at all.
In my view-If you want stability with a host of features then, nothing better than AOKP B31 with Francos kernel.
All the best with the upgrade.
Bluetooth Problems
Did CM9 and/or AOKP get the bluetooth problems ironed out that I read was introduced by 4.0.4? That's one feature that has to work for me.
Using Liquid Smooth Rom 1.25 - Pretty stable and fast, a lot of neat features ...
Flashed imoseyon leanKernel v3.2.1 but my phone was heating up (Didn't even touch the processor speed or voltage ) now using Franco Kernel (Battery life not good) - Give it a try, maybe the above mentioned kernels might work for you ....
Now going to try Trinity .....
You'd think I would have figured this out by now, but having been a CM9 loyalist since day one I never bothered to learn what any of the others constitute beyond looking at what their acronyms stood for.
So my questions are as follows:
1) What exactly is the difference between Android Open Source, Android Open Kang, and CyanogenMod? My initial understanding (and this was when I followed the stuff more closely on the HP Touchpad) was that AOSP was built directly from the source Google released, CM9 took it and tweaked it for the specific device, and AOKP piggybacked off that to further tweak. I'm not so sure anymore.
2) Who's developing what? I thought the three branches were distinct but then I see sbrissen and chris seemingly making commits to both CM and AOSP, so I'm a little confused by this.
3) What's receiving the most development right now? I was on CM9 Alpha 6 for the longest time. I was debating from moving to a CM9 nightly or a CM10 beta, but the separate thread for AOSP Jellybean made me wonder what exactly that offered vs CM10. I was tempted to stay on CM9 just because it's been around longer but I haven't seen any "official" updates in awhile (i.e. ones on the e4gt.blogspot.com site--I'm sure the nightlies are official in some sense). Is it still even being worked on by the CM team anymore or have they all jumped ship to CM10 development?
As of right now I just flashed the FH13 ICS Stock onto my phone to see how that works out. When the other roms reach a better level of stability I'll probably move back to one of the CM's, but I wanted some idea of what I'm flashing before I do.
Thanks in advance.
Aosp is pure android like on a nexus.

Okay...half-answered one of my three questions...and I kind already knew that.
Thanks anyway.
Google it. You will get your answers. Most pointing to the xda forums.

Cm9 is still being worked on. Chris41g is working on making it officially supported. His nightlies are so much better than alpha 6. I'd recommend upgrading to a nightly if you are on a6. Sbrissens jb aosp is also amazing as well. For me the jump from his alpha 4 to 5 was a huge difference in terms of battery life. I haven't had any los on it or any other problems on it. Recently on one of the alphas (idr which one, probably the latest) he added the status bar toggles so that was a huge plus as well. It still doesn't have the customization of cm10 but it's still amazing.

Xmas surprise from AOKP team, hooray :good:
It seems to be smaller than their JB nightlies. I wonder if it's just a stock KK ROM or if most AOKP features are really included.
Any opinions on it? Is it any stable?
So far on CM11 nightlies and must say they work great (besides camera issues).

Have not found big issue since using this AOKP nightly except
1,Google play first run stuck
2,Installing apk seems using more time than other roms basically
I'm now using this rom as daily use. I use gapps from @PlayfulGod and fancy kernel r44 ext version, btw, video play back looks better than CM kernel imo

very nice website jeje

I've tried all the KK ROMs for the GNex, and this is BY FAR the most stable out of all of them. Others are plagued with random reboots, graphic glitches, and 4G issues. AOKP has none of those! Its actually a relief to not have a single issue in 5 days. I forgot that a GNex could actually be stable. Plus, they have active devs working on issues. Now I don't need to upgrade my phone for awhile.

I had no reboots with the CM nightlys and its stabile and fast! I tried aokp today, it's not bad , but i went back to CM.
