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.

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

Ok sorry if this question is noobish but what is the difference?
They are both cyanogenmods but two different Download Thread.
Nightly's are not offically released by Cyanogen and RC's are, but they are both compiled by the same team. Plus RC's are considered stable enough for official release.

Nightlies are what CM7 RC1 is based off of. It essentially IS one of the nightlies. The nightlies are automatically built by a bot every night at the same time so that all the changes made that day are packaged into a rom and that is what becomes the next nightly.
The nightlies will continue to be built becauase RC1 means release candidate and is not considered stable.
They will eventually release an official CM7 Stable.

LOL "Built by a Bot Every Night" You made it sound so leet lol. I always it was some dude who just updates it and put it on.
But thanks. I am using RC1 right now everything is working so far. My last nightly was giving me reboot when i open my keyboard.
Also, you can always continue to flash the next versions of nightlies over the RC1, as other improvements and changes are made.

So the nightlies folowing an RC are based on the RC or on the previous nightly?
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.

i was wondering what the difference is between the 2.....i have the nightly but i just saw the stable and was wondering what would change?
Nightly might have some features that would make it unstable. So it is considered experimental for the most part. Stable means the Rom is set with little to no problems. I would suggest the stable build if you don't want to keep flashing your phone.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
ok so i have the cm7 nightly the latest one....so the latest stable release is the better of the 2?
Well it's pretty simple: Stable builds are just that, stable. Nightly builds are experimental builds, meant to try out for a day, and if people have problems, they will be fixed the next night.
So if you want a stable build, flash a stable rom. If you dont mind a few bugs, flash the nightly.
Cm nightly 256 is nearly flawless and arguably, even better than the "stable" version
^ is right, sometimes the nighly out do the stable, just have to find the right one
Quick question what is the difference between the nightly, stable, and experimental builds?
RC- the first stable release candidate (stable but 4g doesn't work)
nightlies- contain the latest updates to the CM7 Rom, all the new ones are generally very stable with a few known bugs.
I'm on nightly 25 and having no problems other than a few known bugs (volume on incoming calls, etc.)

Umm no to the RC0 The RC0 has 4G working. And some newer nightlies may incorporate new things but some things make it unstable too.

We only have the RC0 and nightlies. The Nightlies could be considered experimental or more of an Alpha towards a possible Beta. The CM7 thread with WiMAX in the title is the one to follow to see how people are fairing running the latest nightly.
What's cyanigen? Is that like a chineese knockoff of cyanogen?
Sorry couldn't help it...
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.
