A bit confused on different CM releases

So there was cm-10.2-20130814-NIGHTLY-quincytmo.zip released on 8/14 and cm-10.1.3-RC1-quincytmo.zip which was released on 8/28 as a release candidate. I'm confused on what the differences would be. Right now I've been running the 10.1 nightly's. In another post someone said the 10.2 was a 4.3 release, but wouldn't there be a stable release before a nightly release?

You had it right. They are trying to finish a 10.1 final, but there seem to be problems as the 10.1 branch just keeps going and going. The 10.1.3 is the latest attempt to close the door on Android 4.2.2 and move on to 4.3 exclusively.

But why is there a 10.2 nightly, wouldn't there first be a 10.2 stable? Should I keep going with the 10.1 nightly or should I download the 10.1.3 or 10.2?

The "stable" is the final release, its the last one. So night lies and M releases and RC's all come before Stable.
There are two branches being developed right now, 10.1.x, that has a "freeze" (no new features added) trying to get to a Stable final release, and 10.2 which will be what is developed from here on out.
What you run is up to you.
If you want new stuff just cause it is new I would suggest going with 10.2. It is not stable and reliable, but neither is 10.1 on our phones. To get something stable that doesnt randomly reboot you have to go back to the April M3 release or earlier.

Cool, thanks for the explanation.
On a side note I'm just waiting for the note 3 to come out hopefully in September and that it will have much more ROM support.

Nightly versions are not considered stable. You can expect some bugs and issues when using nightly versions but in general they are relatively stable, you might not notice any bugs at all. You really have to test them to know, they are automatically compiled (not tested) so one version might be very stable and the version 2 days later can have some issues. If you are comfortable dealing with minor issues and flashing roms then you should be fine. If you want a 100% stable phone then nightly versions might not be for you.

There is no stable release of CM12 yet and don't expect one soon. I think they never released a stable version of cyanogenmod for the M7. The most "stable" version released were snapshot versions of CM11. If you are unsure about using nightly version then wait for the first CM12 snapshot version. Snapshot version is the most stable nightly of the month.

yeah, about snapshot i was talking, but thers isnt any release yet , so i will try the nightly !

I'll be dead honest. If you are looking for rock stable then stay stock. All roms have issues. Mainly for devices like the m7

What about gpe edition ?

When I say stock I meant official releases and as this version of a device with both OEM and gpe then both can be considered stock. So it's up to you which one you go wirh

Cyanogen Stable

Hey guys I'm a bit confused, they CM team had said that they were releasing cm 12 and 11 stable builds but I don't see the N6 with one yet, is it not on their wik download page? Or is it just not ready yet?

Those builds are to old for our device and you should have q&a thread. Use cm 12.1 it's stable enough for a daily driver.

I'm on 12.1 and have no issues.

I am updating CM12.1 day, have some but of system ui crash, play store crash, and sudden ui freeze n auto-restart , but still not a big deal, stable enough to daily use.

5.1.1 is CM12.1 and they don`t develop 11 and 12 anymore afaik

I haven't seen a cm build actually named "stable" for years

http://www.zdnet.com/article/cyanogenmod-ditches-stable-release-for-perpetual-m/
There has not been stable builds for a while now.

Q_Q all I want is my nexus6 on a designated stable cm build..but that might not happen...I love the cm experience but the wait for it is ridiculous >,<
Are there any roms that have the subtle cm feel to it but still with all the tweaks that lead to wanting to flash it the first place?

CM is stable enough to be used as a daily driver, and yes there are several CM based roms available just use search and you will find.

People, don't be so sure of yourselves in saying things you aren't sure about!
The OP is correct. CyanogenMod's (not Cyanogen's, there's a difference) blog recently stated that the Jenkins build server was going to kickoff one final build of CM11 M12, and CM12 M1 for all devices that ever recieved official nightlies for those versions. For example, OnePlus gets, CM11 M12, CM12 M1, and continued CM12.1 nightlies, because it ran KK before LP, but Nexus 6 only gets CM12 M1, as it never ran KK.
However, due to a (seemingly unnoticed) error, Jenkins (CyanogenMod's build server) only kicked out CM11 M12 & CM12 M1 builds for the first ~15 devices (in alphabetical order of CM's phone database). I have alerted a device maintainer, and hope they look into this.
This all being said... why are people obsessing over the "M" (Milestone) build? You do realize that an M build in all actuality means very little. A Milestone build is just a nightly that is deemed stable FOR EVERY SUPPORTED DEVICE. So, many devices (like the Nexus 6) have flawless CM12.1 nightlies, while other device's (Galaxy S4 Mini perhaps?) nightlies are atrociously buggy, this causes the Milestone build to be put on hold until all devices run it flawlessly.
I run CM12.1 nightlies on my Nexus 6, and they are FLAWLESS. I can count a total of two bugs; "OK Google" detection reverts to inactive upon reboot (solved by setting up a Tasker profile which toggles "Google Voice Search Enhancements" on & off @ boot), and a lack of WiFi Calling on TMO (Scheduled to come in a nightly soon).

[Q] Is latest CM12.1 Snapshot stable enough?

Hello everyone,
I've always liked CM and the different features it offers, so I was planning to flash latest Snapshot since I would like to use it as my daily driver. What's your experience with it? Any major bugs? Is it stable enough? Or should I consider something else, such as Xposed + some modules (such as GravityBox)? I'm currently running latest stock build 5.1 (LPE23.32-14.2).
Thanks for your help.

The latest snapshot isn't bad, but I've had more success with the nightlies simply because they have patches that haven't made it into the snapshot builds yet. I'd say try out a couple nightlies and just stick with one that doesn't have any issues for you.

Could you recommend any nightly in particular to begin with?

I'm on the 10/25 nightly and haven't run into any major issues yet.

Stable android build as of date for Xperia V

Looking to upgrade my stock android for Xperia V since it is no longer supported by google, kindly recommend one that is stable and can be used as a daily driver. Also mention issues if there are any compared to stock ROM. Thank you.

I'm currently running @WhiteNeo 's CM12.1. I find it very stable. (I am having problems with celular reception, but suspect it is hardware related.) Requires an unlocked bootloader, though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe.../rom-cyanogenmod-12-neo-s-homebuilds-t2984988
I must point out you can get more recent versions of CM on Xperia V, but I prefer tried and true roms

I'm using WhiteNeo's final CM12.1 build since January and haven't had any issue so far. Perfectly stable.
Adrian DC claims his latest CM13.0 to be stable. Can anyone say if it's worth the upgrade? To me stability is above all, but runtime is also important.
