Is CM9 better than CM7 or are they about the same and what features does CM9 have that CM7 doesn't?

Well as forum surfing, found this. Yes, there is a difference. Cm9 is faster, has more features such as FFC unlock, a better overhauled ui, its faster, more user friendly in my opinion, and it has more customizable options in custom rom. If you want a good ROM, cm9 is good.

+1 for CM9, but it really depends what you're looking for. Granted, I've only tried AOKP ICS M6 so far, but I was on GB for a long time so I can feel the difference pretty well. If you're looking for bleeding edge and you don't mind a few hiccups and glitches every once in a while then go with CM9 based roms, but if you need rock solid stability then I'd say the CM7 roms are better suited. Don't forget that Jelly Bean (CM10) roms are already out and coming along quite nicely... I just can't upgrade myself until I get a new sd card.

What's the difference between this two roms?
CM7 is straight-up AOSP with nothing but performance and usability tweaks. MIUI is a highly customized ROM with a ton of GUI changes and completely rewritten apps. http://en.miui.com/a-24.html
I haven't tried MIUI yet, but I hear CM7 is currently much more stable on Vibrant. If you don't need GPS and can stand the poor standby time, CM7 is a daily driver right now. Haven't heard anyone say that about MIUI for Vibrant - I think they're not quite there yet.
Kool man thanks for the info. Im currently running cm7 right now and so far is the best rom I'm using this as a daily driver.I love this rom and I was planning to flash mui but I guess ill pass in that.lol
Want simplicity and speed cm7
Want beauty with a cm7 base miui

Yeah, if you want a fast daily driver I'd stick with CM7. I'm doing that until MIUI gets more stable, then I'll probably take it for a test drive.
No matter how hot it looks, I'd hate it flashing from CM7 right now - can't beat the speed and stability. Once they get the kinks worked out I'd like to try it.
ok this might be a stupid question but i can't decide which rom to choose. i need a rom that is fast and smooth also fun to use. can anyone suggest the best rom. I can't use miui nb 1.12.2 because its giving problems and 1.11.18 is kinda slow.
ICS - Awesome, it gives your phone a new feel, a new look. It's different from older things. (Gingerbread, Froyo, etc.) But, it's not the fastest, it is fast, but not the fastest.
ICS is definitely fun to use.
MIUI - I don't know.. I like it, but it looks too.. professional? In a way? Like.. I feel you can customize it less. I like the features, but I dun know, reminds me of when I had my 3GS, ahah. It's fast, not as fast as CM7 or a Bionix 2.2 ROM, but it's pretty fast.
I think ICS is a little slower than MIUI, but that little bit of lag is worth all the cool little features ICS has.
Edit; But if you do want to stay on MIUI, I suggest this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364390
It was running great when I was using it.
ICS = no gps
That is the killer for me. After the "Hardware fix" my gps usually locks within 15-20sec. I use it every day. Another reason I stay clear of GB ROMS (non CM7/Miui) is because you need a very old kernel to use gps.
Thanks friends. im going to try ics and see how it works. but wich ics rom do you recommend?

I am running this one on my Vibrant. It is smooth and fast. Very crisp, and not many problems for a Beta version.
what would be the best rom to go to for my atrix?
It really depends on your daily usage and user style. I can tell you that you have 3 options:
2.3.4/2.3.6 Blur Based roms: Roms based on official motorola roms. They are very stable and have all the stuff working. Including Webtop. When i want a Blurred rom, i go with Nottachtrix 4G. Pretty sick and stable rom. Only complain so far is battery life. Blur roms tend to be a little laggy because they have lots of motorola stuff and they make the phone laggy.
CM7: Based on GB. Lots of good stuff and great customization. Great battery life. They have almost all the features working. Only problem with them is that they currently doesn't support webtop.
CM9: Based on ICS. Right now they are on beta stage so they have some bugs still that need to be worked on. We have no drivers for our processor, so the devs are having a hard time coding everything right now, and the deving is a little slow. Currently we have two CM9 roms Jokersax's and Turl1's. They are co-deving so the builds are pretty similar.
Thats about everything we have on the Atrix right now. You better.test them all and decide by yourself.

I am running the cm7 rom right now after trying a couple of them and it is by far the best one I have used. Battery life is great and it realllllly fast. I also have the faux123 1.45 oc kernel. And altogether I have not found anything that works better for me personally.

Nobody can tell you what the best ROM to use is.... Everyone looks for different things in their ROMs... Some like MIUI (which i dont get, if you want your device to look like an iPhone, then buy an iPhone....) Some like CM7, some like stock based.... you'll have to just play aroud with some ROMs and decide whats best for you.
So, I'm not an Android N00B or even a CyanogenMOD N00B -- I'm just a Motorola N00B. I've been hacking CM9 on HTC and Samsung phones for years so I don't need any "how-to" help.
I've gone through the forum here and I can't make heads or tails about what the general consensus is about different ROM's.
I don't need (or even want, really) Jelly Bean so I'm looking for a pretty vanilla (but solid) CM9 ROM.
Also, are there any issues with different radios and call quality? I ran into that a lot on the T989 (TMobile Galaxy S2) and I'd like to avoid it if I can.

Performance, working features and stability have come along way since cm9. I'd be looking at epinter's cm10 or cm10.1. But there are camera / video camera issues with all including cm9. If you want cm and with all things working then it would be cm7. Once we have a new kernel the cm9/10/10.1 roms will finally be fully optimized.

ICS ROMs based running on the leaked kernel are pretty good too, and include all the features except fingerprint reader and Lapdock support, the cons may be the battery life (Sometimes problematic AFAIK) and stability (Only for a little handful of users).
There is a CM10 ROM based on the leaked kernel but it's no longer under development, I think you'll prefer using ICSrom in that case.

Is there one that you suggest? :angel:
whats the best stable, lag free, and fast rom for the fascinate? is their any ROM that has JB/Kk? also, i need a rom with lots of internal space.
honestly i've been most satisfied with EH03, the verizon stock ROM. i've tried every version of CyanogenMod and nothing has come close to the fluidity and speed of good ol gingybread.
although if you absolutely can not stand touchwiz for some reason, CM9 is ok but it has a couple of issues (no native wifi tethering, weird texts from blank numbers, sometimes it just freezes and reboots itself).
also i use imoseyon's lean kernel along with a couple of other mods.. if you want them let me know. it kinda looks like touchwiz 4 for me.
using the stock verizon build too, debloated, debinged, rooted. all the links to EH03-based ROMs are dead unfortunately.

And it's so subjective,,, what works for one another despises...
I loved 'baked blackbean 6' it was 4.1.x jellybean (course i heavily tweaked it to my personal liking),,, and then came Slim ROM 4.2.2 ,,,
hellybean was good too,,,
Of course running the devil kennel from hellybean on these was the ticket too.
you just gotta be willing to take the plunge and try some different ones out till you find the one that trips your trigger the best :thumbup:
actually, based on prior experience, CM7 is the best non-TW GB ROM (although i'm content with my gutted out modded to hell EH03), ICS i just don't recommend because it gives excellent performance and is solid but the devs never fixed a few issues that are kinda big. JB just always lagged and stuttered too much but i remember Helly being a halfway decent rom

How much internal space does it have?
