I have been debating whether to flash Cyanogenmod and am looking for user experiences.
Is it smoother? faster? use less RAM? Battery life?
Would be good to have some benchmark figures comparing stock and Cyanogenmod 7, 9 and 10.
Also which version is better/ what are the differences between 7, 9 and 10?
If I was to flash it, how do i save my current ROM in case I want to go back?
...
Try it out bro for better results

CM9 or CM10 is much smoother than stock rom for my S2 phone. Unfortunately the Jabra mono bluetooth 3 headset is not working well with CM9/10. However no problem with old Nokia bluetooth 2 headset. For now I am sticking with ICS stock rom as I need the bluetooth headset function.
I need bluetooth as I listen to my music through a stereo bluetooth headset!

I think cm7 is a lot more stable? I've tried the cm9 nightlies and there are bugs still. Haha.

I'm on ics so would have to be cm9.
Why don't you use stable version

I was thinking of switching from checkrom to cyanogenmod, because its an aosp rom. Hows the general stability of cyanogenmod in the galaxy sII? Is the camera app perfect? I wanna know about stability and battery life too.. thanks.

I used to use CM7 but the devs sort of left it to work on CM9, which by the way is going to be awesome.
When is cm9 going to come out?the stable version I mean?

I've been using the Unofficial builds (link) of CM7 for a couple of weeks and had no problems. It has never crashed for me (some users have reported that it sometimes can crash when using the market). The camera app works with no problems, but the stock Android camera app don't have as many features as the Samsung camera app (I don't really care since I use a camera app from the market). The battery life is really good in my opinion. It definitely gets me through a day of normal usage, though it depends on how much you're using your phone.
And all the apps from the market work just fine?

i use cm7 b4 , the performance is awesome and stable
Choose the latest nightlies, they're 7.2 RC's. They're more stable than the stable release which in the end became a 7.1 RC, not to mention more features, etc...
The latest Buildbot official build is #116 on the Cyanogen Mirror Network. Codeworkx posted #117 on his blog here: http://codeworkx.de/wordpress/2011/12/17/cyanogenmod-7-12172011-galaxys2/
There are various unofficial builds, etc... but I haven't used any of them in a long time. There were some useful changes after #117 that the unofficial builds would have. None of them (that I can recall) critical to core functions however.

Overall -cm. For me battery life lasted longer in cm than stock. And obviously features add to it.

CM Permission management is the biggest selling point, I love the fact that is integrated and no need to install extra apps or modify apks, plus the 640*480 video recording, last time I checked stock only lets you record video at 320*480, then of course the pletora of additional features and the coolness level
nice idea to make a poll like this
Definitely cm!

my opinion
CM!
Why? (This is just my opinion, i don't wanna pi** anybody off with this.)
Stock has some samsung-only apps like "AllShare" etc. but i dont care about these.
And it has its own contacts browser which supports quick call/sms by swiping over the contact. i really love that feature, but the pros of cm are alot more:
- its looks better (menu effects from ics etc.)
- it has awesome customization options
- it has the theme chooser <3
- and the most important thing: it defo runs faster/better!
i prefer stock based roms

i love cm but can`t install in my galaxy pro,no custom flash recovery anywhere
Stock with CF-Root b84.
it seems cm is more desired than stock ...still what's the upside for stock?
CM7 More speed and better Performance and better Settings
i wait for CM9 Beta
(Custom) Stock. Full stability and more comfortable for daily usage.

stock FTW
for me its modified stock... Ive tried loads of roms and so far omega rocks my world and my phone....
there's some kind of magic when you revert from CM to stock... you know... all working as they should, you have the assurance that your phone won't give up on you. The thing is though after a few minutes on stock and having tried CM you miss lots of things which I can't be bothered to mention now.
So CM for me!
yea...once i use cm and tried back to stock ( based rom) it feels rather odd ...and limited =(
like many others am running cyanogen mod.
one of the things i notticed is that bluetooth is not autoconnecting ro my headset (stock rom and other phone did auto connect to hs.
what can cause this and does anyone know how to fix this. (or has an app that does work on CM galaxy ace i).
also the other threads didn't specift an model phone.
thanx for the great rom and the help.
AW: [Q] bluetooth auto connect possible?
Bluetooth doesn't even work on cm 7.

Hi all,
Can you please place your rom suggessions about player 5.0(YP-G70)... Which rom you prefer and why?
Eryigit GB-ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465144
Chip v1.5 GB-ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737432
I used both of them, both are great, stable and fast.
If you want the ICS look and feel, use Chip ROM.
PARANOIDANDROID JB-ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083052
This is also a great ROM, it has a Hybrid Engine that allows you to switch to Tablet mode or Phablet mode.
But the camera, bluetooth, and headset still don't work. besides that everything's good.
There is also a huge noticeable improvement in performance.
Hope This Helps!
i'm currently using eryigit rom, but it's beeing laggy. Free ram is around 60mb and this causes problems while usng programmes.
i'm planning to try chip rom...
by the way, camera and bluetooth is important. so it seems i can't use cm9 based roms.
any other suggessions?

Actually, Supermaster has made a patch for Bluetooth in cm9 and you can still take pictures in cm10. The preview is just a little weird but the picture comes out fine

Totally agree with using Chip!!! Loving it! Gingerbread stability ICS look & feel!

What are your opinions about the speed amd which do you prefer. For me i guess the last JB fw was great. it's also fast. I'm experiencing some lag on cm rom which is the kitkat plus the Bluetooth avrcp isn't working (can't connect to my bt headset). And also camera quality sucks on custom rom.
