I saw today that the CM website has a nightly build of CM11 available for the Inc4g now. It's the first nightly build they have posted as far as I can tell. I don't know if it's different than the unofficial CM11 build posted on the development forum so I don't know if it requires any special recovery version like the unofficial build did. I'm also assuming it uses the same gapps version as the unofficial build does.
Just thought i'd mention it for anyone interested.

Okay so while everyone is looking out for Cyanogenmod 9, I'm still wondering about CM7...
Simple question, if there is already a stable build, what are the purpose of the Nightly builds? In the link http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/samsung-galaxy-s2 you can select between, Stable, Experimental and Nightly builds. Why would one choose a Nightly build over the Stable build?
Because a nightly is the latest version of the rom. But it is likely to have more bugs then the stable.
For our device there is no CM build labeled as stable. But the nightly builds are stable for daily use.
Can you still follow me? It's just how the rom is labeled.

That's not entirely true, there is a build labeled "stable", here.
However, it's an old build, and you would be better off using a more recent build. I would go as far as recommending a kang build, because the latest nightly is also old. There will be no more nighties for CM7, because CM9 should arrive... in the near future.
The latest semi-official kang, built by codeworkx, is here.
I'm using Novek's build without problems (it contains more recent commits than codeworkx's), which you can download here.
You may think I'm an idiot asking that, but the latest nightly came out after the latest snapshot, I'm confused as to whether or not a snapshot is just a nightly that happened to be uploaded on the 1st the month, or whether there are actual tweaks made for better stability. Any help is appreciated.

Does anyone know if there is a current paranoid android build for our phone. I know there is one for the international version but can't find one for ours. Thanks!
If your phone firmware is anything above MDK, it doesn't matter. You couldn't load it anyway.... But if you are on MDK, I think I saw a build somewhere on the paranoid android website a while back.

I just checked for you on the PA website and it doesn't look like they have a build for us. I feel like the last version of PA for our device is either 4.3 or 4.4.2.

All AOSP builds are unified JFLTE, no such thing as international or Verizon versions anymore. No official builds that I know of, but there's a stable Sabermod build in the Unified Development section that is on nightlies.
What does it take for a ROM to move from unofficial to official or is that not how it works? For example, I run cm11 official because its official. I would like to run cm12 but it says unofficial.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.. But... Unofficial is usually when someone compiles the build themselves and share. They sometimes add commits that have not been merged into official builds. Sometimes add add-ons that may not be supported in official builds. Sometimes a dev team may not have a maintainer for a specific official build. Most times unofficial builds aren't always as dependant as official. Sometimes they can be better.
As for CM 12. It went official last night. They are nightly builds, but they are official now. The thread is in the original development section. You can go to the CM site and it shows all the official 11 builds and then starting with 1/6 it is now on official 12 nightly. Hope that helps. ?
Just to clarify. The official CM11 thread is where to go for more info right now. Sure they will probably start a new one soon, but the link still takes you to CM and the latest build is the CM 12 from today 1/6. http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=vs985&type=nightly
I've been trying to figure out how to build Cyanogenmod from source for a few devices. I've looked at many tutorials and such, but I haven't been able to find one that explains how to build Cyanogen for a device that had an old version of Cyanogen but hasn't been updated since. For example, the official builds for a certain device only go up to 12.1, but I want to build it for 13.0. Does anyone have any advice?

I would recommend starting by using the device tree for your device that supports 12.1 and try using that tree to compile 13. To do this download the 13 code and put the 12.1 device tree in the proper folders (device, vendor, kernel) and try compiling a build and start seeing what errors you get. Let me know if you still have questions I'll do my best to help you out!
