Nightly Rom

Nightly builds are the one which are automatically built every night. This means that humans are not involved and is largely to see if the code added throughout the day will compile. As to our concern, nightly builds are good and they don’t have any bad background as they don’t accept any bugs reports.

Many people use nightly as their daily driver that means no bugs that may have occurred in their daily life as they want to switch to a another build. However you don’t have to flash every nightly build. You can do it as you see it is suitable to you needs. Nightlies have been the most unstable builds of CyanogenMod, but many bugs where dependent on the devices.

Typically, there are few bugs, as they still test the ROMs, but you will probably encounter (a few) more bugs than in a stable build. Usually generated every 24 hours, experimental, newest features, unstable.Lineage OS 14.1 official nightly builds are now released on 22 Jan 2017 available for Download for many devices 80+ including Google, Motorola, Nextbit, Oneplus, Samsung, Sony and Xiaomi.
