Sorry, you're wrong. It's still funny.

It's clearly said on most threads, they are beta builds.

Yes but, more specifically, it beta builds that are usually done each night.

I used to think that the Nightly builds were done by a person or only because the beta builds were released at night, Might be a truth to it o.o

I think because of the time builds take you're still right to think that. Many do the builds during their "night" thus the word nightly.

So Nightly usually better than others right?

This is how I see it: :silly:
A "nightly" becomes a "stable" version in the long run
Stable = better than others
Nightly = patch version of the previous nightly release (in most cases).
Most nightlly versions are tested daily and most users report bugs from the nightly version right away. If time permits then the developer patches the previous nightly, compiles it and release a new nightly. HaHa!

They're not stable (otherwise they'd be in the "stable" branch instead of nightly), but they're not gonna brick your phone either.
Expect bugginess, but overall it's not too bad.
Installing CM7 with ROM Manager Premium is "so easy a caveman can do it"!
Its the reason I purchased premium.

Interesting.. I just tried that and during the install if failed at the point where it looks like it was trying to figure out what device I had. I guess it doesn't like my current ROM?

Careful there. With the exception of GPS not working, i'd say this is just as stable as bionix. What makes them not stable, is flashing every single nightly release. If you read about the different versions and aren't too flash happy then you'll be pleased.

Uninstalled and reinstalled Clockwork fixed it.
Note to noobs:
You don't need to buy rom manager premium to flash cm7 nightlies. Just download the rom and flash it. takes a whole 10 seconds longer but it's free and almost just as easy. The nightlies are posted here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=vibrantmtd
I have this site bookmarked on my vibrant and simply download it right onto the phone. Once it's done you have to move the file from the download folder to the root of the sd card then reboot into recovery and flash away.

Which is why the nightlies as a whole aren't reliable. If you want a "stable" device, that probably means that you don't want to be checking the CM7 nightly thread each day for a stable release. It's not exactly intuitive that nightly 13 is *less* reliable than the earlier nightly 8, for example.
Again, if the nightlies were "stable", there would be a stable branch for the Vibrant. They are pretty much good enough for daily use, but there are certainly dragons.

Firefox for Tablet - First Nightly Available!

First nightly for Firefox for Tablets is out... So far not bad. Obviously a lot of work to go, but there is definitely potential.

Dumb question here... but what does nightly mean?
Is it able to Sync Firefox bookmarks?

Alright well then whats the difference between Nightly development builds and regular development builds?
I ask since I see that CyanogenMod7 works with nightly builds also while other roms dont.
Blehh firefox, they have a long way to go in the mobile world, Fennec was terribad on my phone, hopefully the can do something that isnt a steaming pile for tabs

No difference- just different names.
BTW nightly builds are usually done automatically by the script running every night.

[Q] Codename Android MoPho Browser bug help?

Im using Codename android 2.0.0
When i rotate the screen while in browser, it force closes. It also does this when i try to select something while it is loading. I've tried installing multiple browsers and it happens to each one.
maybe its a kernel problem?(kernel version 2.6.32.58-MB855-CM9-g5bd1732)
ive been searching all day to a fix for this
This is an issue with every CM9 based rom. I've had some success with Firefox Beta. I keep multiple past versions on my SD card because each rom I flash seems to work differently with each browser. Jokersax did just release a version of his unofficial cm9 build that has a rotation fix if you'd like to try that:
http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/jokersax/cyanogenmod9-photon/
It's the one called special 0.7.0.0.
I am enjoying this CND from
Is there an estimated patch time for this bug? While CM9 is interesting isn't it still in alpha?

Eta for patch? When we get official ics from moto.
At this point cm9 is way past what the cna you are running is. It says beta but real close to a rc
Sent from my MOF'd up MoPho
Patch is either coming around October or not coming at all (official ics release)
I guess I could try CM9 later. Though I don't feel like re-installing all this stuff haha
Edit: also a link to the newest version of CM9 would be nice I guess?

You "should" be able to flash 0.7.0 right over your cna without wiping. Just look on jokersax.com in the cm9 for photon section

Yeah I'm running .7 right now
Any eta on the flash fix for it?

cm9 nightlies

Call me stupid, but where do I find any info about the details of the nightlies to the CM9 on: http://get.cm/?device=p4wifi
I'm pretty happy with the one from 2 weeks back, but would gladly update if they're significant, e.g. working front cam

There are a bunch if changelogs available on the net but to save you the hassle. Front cam doesn't work
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium HD app
There is no CM9 out which is using the newest 3.1 Kernel. But try BeeGees CM9 Build, ist uses the new kernel where are the frontcam is working. Click me
I was pretty surprised to see a new nightly come out last night and still without a working camera yet the CM10 builds out there it does work.. Shame that the CM development for the tab is so spotty (at best).

Pershoot is the device maintainer for out tabs for cm. Until he he is happy with sorting out a) - the bugs on kernel 3.1 then it'll be "Sent out" to cm who will then start using it to build frsh nightlies & probably cm10 ones aswell

I'm sure coding is different... Plus there is his own kernel ... So its fjkanged
sent from 4.2.1 I717
If nothing else the fj kang has overclocking enabled both GPU and CPU .
Both still have all the jb flaws from 4.1 builds such as rr and overlay issues.

It's definitely a kang in every sense of the word...it might not look different on the surface (as far as menus, etc), but he added his kernel under it and I have absolutely noticed a difference. Keep in mind that he released it literally within hours of Jamie's release, so that was surprising in and of itself.
I'm sure that this is the first of many releases with the new base, and we'll see more "kang-ness" in future builds, as well as his own version eventually (that includes the OTA and stuff like that).
Also I'm not sure what the rules are these days about posting links to his stuff...might want to check with the mods to make sure it's cool.

I do believe the devhost mirror he has is ok to post as it is an xda affiliated site. If you post a link to his site since you have to sign up it is considered against the rules. I may be wrong on this but that is how I have read the rules.
He built his rom from the CM source making it a kang, but there are some of his own personal touches in it. It is a nice solid build and I am sure there will be more to come.
Per an email from FJ, he fixed some things.
