[Q] what is the point of the cm nightly builds?

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.

1. Never ask for ETA, people who do development / rom porting (in this case alquez) is doing this volentarily, so they will publish / make the rom stable when they have the time and when they can and when they want
2. why make 3 threads just to ask similar question?

[Q]CM9

So official cm9 is not coming to the droid inc, is that right?

according to the flow chart there is a chance it will

I am on invisiblek's 5/29 nightly build and it is sweet so far. Very smooth and I haven't had to pull the battery since I put it on 2 days ago.
drk.hd's a9 build is supposedly working very well too.
So don't be afraid to go with the latest unofficial builds.

We already got it! it's just unofficial. But it's stable. I think all we need is a maintainer to submit and maintain it to CM. what do I know though

I ask only because i'd like to see an updated kernel

There are a few updated kernels, but none from cyanogenmod yet.

[Q] CM11 Unofficial vs Nightly

I've been running PlayfulGod's CM11 Unofficial for the past couple days with success. I see that CM11 "official" nightly builds are now available, but PlayfulGod is still updating the unofficial build.
Just wondering if there is a changelog for the nightly builds similar to what PlayfulGod has on his thread? I'm not clear what the differences between these versions are. I'm new!

If you read the threads, you should be able to find out what the unofficial builders cherry pick that aren't in the official builds. All it takes is a little bit of reading.
For the most part, there are not going to be any drastic changes - they are on the same base after all.

Yes you're right .. i think the unofficial is the best than nightly .. because nightly just beta tester before official ...

CM 12.1 as daily driver

There are some unofficial CM12.1 builds for our lovely ZL, one in the development section in this forum and some unofficial builds by freexp ( http://fxpblog.co/cyanogenmod/cyanogenmod-12.1/).
I'm going to switch to CM cause I don't believe sony will ever release 5.1 or at least a stagefright patch for our phone.
Is anyone using 12.1 as a daily driver? Are the builds running stable? Is there something that holds you back from using CM?
Thanks for your opinions!

Hi. I'm on cm12.1 for a month and its working fine.

Thank you! Any idea where to get a recent build? Fxp is a month old and in the build by qsnc some things are broken (chrome?).
I'd like to build it myself, but since I have a bandwith of exactly 384kb/s it would take years to download cm source....

I'm compiling my own. ☺
You can try the version on the radio active time fix thread.

It´s ok not the best !!!

I installed CM 12.1 from official CM site and run pretty good, sometimes i think that phone its over heating, especially when im playing some memory drain game. I trying now back to Stock 5.1.1 (xperiafirmware) but have problen when try to flash TFT in flashtool.
In my opinion, i prefer stock than CM 12.1, but its only my mind. (excuses for my horrible english)
