There are no nightly builds of CM yet. We only have a self-kang of CM7 by Slayher or CM7 Hybrid by RoyalKnight6190.

Okay, thank you. Can you offer an opinion on which you like better?

CM7 by Slayher is actually really good. I use it. However, since it is not really a full release it does have bugs. But over all, fantastic for an alpha.
CM7 Hybrid by RoyalKnight6190 is yet another great alpha build (however he has had more work on it). It is faster...but since Netflix does not work, I do not use it.
Also note...there is only one kernel for all the CM7 alphas.
But, for the most part. CM7 is being pushed back for CM9. Just have patience.

There are both of the ROMs that ZombieUsr described, and we can also flash Skyrocket ROMs. They have the exact same bugs as ours, but there might be additional tweaks.
There is also a CM7 kernel that Da_G made for the Skyrocket, but Auto-Rotation is broken when you flash it to the T989 (disable it and you SHOULD be fine).

CM9 nightly builds vs FXP

Sounds like a few more things working in the nightlies than in latest fxp at the moment, anyone got a few pros and cons on the two projects to share?
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

nightly is are noticeably less laggy aswell

i like this post, i had the same question - also, what is the real difference between the two? i thought that FXP with releasing the roms on behalf of the CM team, but now we have both - i dont really get it.
i think i will try the nightly now, as they are easier to download.

I see it this way: both FXP and CM are the same, since all the FXP changes will land on CM soon or later then the cm builds are more reliable that waiting a week for the FXP build.
Of course there are times where are changes in the FXP builds that aren't merged yet in CM when a nightly is deployed (i think that it happened the last week with the wifi bugfix).

can i use the same kernel on the tow roms ?

Both usually have a kernel packaged in the zip, use the one provided

Difference between CM9 RC1 and CM9 Nightly builds?

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.

CM9 vs AOSP vs AOKP

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.

[Q] Comparing Inc CM7 builds.

i've been trying numerous CM builds in my dinc including PONS builds, condemned, and the newest nightlys. i still havent been able to really solidify that one is better than the other. anyone wanna share some experience on which might be better? specifically ive been deciding between the newest nightlys and condemned's stable build. which do you guys think is better?

I've always like Pons' kangs for the open commits. Maybe if you ask really nicely, he'll update his build. However there may not be any changes worth rebuilding for.

I have been rocking condemned v15 and love it. It just works.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app

another big question is, do you guys all use adrenaline mod? if so, with what rom? i found that adrenaline didnt have much of an effect on condemned, whereas on the new nightlys (like the one posted today), it seems to make a big difference. is this because of the tweaks done to condemned? are they better tweaks? sorry if i sound like some college girl who knows nothing but this has been rocking my mind a bit

Which ROM is best/most stable is subjective depending on who you talk to, ask 10 different people, get 10 different answers. These types of threads aren't encouraged and hence closed but you can read and join in with the discussion in the General forum here as this was left to stop further threads being opened.
