Not too sure if anyone had asked this question before... but here goes...
When I look for custom ROMS ... sometimes I see unofficial cyanogen ROMS listed. What does this mean? It's not fully supported by developers? How much of a difference is it from official cyanogen ROMS with respect to any android devices.
Thanks.

Cyanogenmod ROMs are appearing on the devs section, but I gotta ask you, what it that it has that makes it better than the stock froyo?
Try getting some info at... cyanogenmod com

its a tweaked/optimised version of AOSP Android.
The current build is CyanogenMod 7.0.0 and is based on Gingerbread 2.3 Android, but all the ones that have been ported to our beloved x10 so far have been CyanogenMod 6, which is FroYo based.
It is quite a bit faster, allows you to customise it yourself (via a simple menu interface) and has several apps that are otherwise unavailable on certain handsets. There are many more differences but that is the basics anyway. As old mate said above, you can find out more at http://www.cyanogenmod.com/

Yes, as the two people above me said

Ok, i know there is a thread about CM but i have a few questions that i have not seen answered yet.
1. Does CM come with the latest radio n'stuff for my SGSII or do i have to update them seperately
2. How big is the difference between the other roms & CyanogenMod
Cause i see so many ROMS that i dont see the trees in the forest anymore.... (this is a dutch saying, so translated it probably looks like rubbish).
Who can help, what are the advantages of Cyanogen over let's say DarkyRom(i am on now) or all those other roms (exynos / batista).

It's been answered before, don't be lazy, and you should put your question regarding CM in the CM thread.
1. no, it does not, flash whatever modem you like
2. CM is AOSP, others are samsung ROMs, that's the main difference. Try it for yourself and see, don't ask lame questions
I have had a look at the CM thread but it's a big mother.....
It is very hard to get information from a thread.
Your answer is very helpful to me. But you will probably know my next question...
Can you flash new radio whenever you like ? (or do you have to wait for CM to update android and then update )
You can flash whenever you like. If there's a newer modem, I usually flash a newer nightly, and then right after the modem, then reboot, and everything is fine and dandy.
hey im sure this has been answered before but i couldnt find anything was wondering what the difference was between the two.. im stuck inbetween the two and dont know which to choose plz and thank you
You probably mean "icssgs release 4.2".
The icssgs rom, by Onecosmic and others, is very explicitly built from the basic android code, AOSP. it does not and will not have the many CM improvements.
The Passion rom and the CM9 kang are based on the Cyanogenmod 9 codebase and so will have CM features as they get ported from CM 7 to CM 9.
Hi, I'm a noob so appologies if this has already been answered...
Q: Is AOKP not supports on a Galaxy S2? The official web site does not seem to support the device. Does this mean the the devs specifically mod the ROM to support AOKP?
Thanks in advance oh guru.

1. Questions typically should go in Q&A, not General...
2. I don't think you really understand what AOKP is.
3. There are a bunch of AOKP based ROMs in both the Android Development and Original Android Development sections.

1. Apologies, noob.
2. This may be the case but you certainly haven't answered my question.
I'll try again.
I have Resurrection ROM which is AOKP. On going to the AOKP site, the Galaxy S2 is not listed as a supported device. So, I'm asuming, because it's not listed, that it's not supported by the AOKP team. Install at your own risk??
Am I correct in saying that any issues that may arise are up to the ROM dev team to resolve and wont be looked at by the AOKP team.

"Install at your own risk" is pretty much true for any ROM.
Edit to add: sorry, I forgot to say: though I'm not on the AOKP team, so my answer isn't a definite one, but I'd imagine it would be up to the particular ROM dev, yes.
Hi,
For having tried many, AOKP works great on S2.
I've change for having stock FM radio working, but if you don't need that, there are great.
Enjoy
Instead of actually creating a new thread; does anyone know of a "stock" AOKP for the S2?
I want to try one that hasn't been tampered with.
Oh, the irony.
Its really strange that no developer is coming up for this great device. Even galaxy grand have slim bean, resurrection remix and other roms. Why on earth developers are not trying to make some roms for mega?

Imho the simple reason is Samsung have not made available the SOURCE for the firmware of Mega.
We have a few ROMs and couple guys working on CyanogenMod............yeah maybe we don't have slimbean or PAC or aokp or ....well the list can go on but a stable clean CyanogenMod base is probably more important to get right before creating added features to it.

Damn it is that true? I thought that we have the source for the FW.
So thats the reason why we still stay with stock ROMs. Hmm..
I love my Mega but we need some developer attention that would do miracles around here.
It will all come in time

Truely what is it behind any custom rom that stock rom +utilities could offer! Most of the time with good utilities one could have the best rom there is the stock one (less bugs) and good overall performance ..we can always add or eleminate any stock apps...them drivers are the worst nightmare devs facing specially for latest roms ported for a defferent devices.

My previous phone it was Motorola Defy, with locked bootloader, forgotten by it's parent company and not upgraded any more from Froyo stage. THEN it was sensible to seek custom roms to have newer system.
Now I do not need so - my system is mostly up to date and probly will be upgraded (soon) to KitKat. All TW futures suited me well, so what is the reason to flash not fully functional custom ROM? Rooting the phone is another question (in fact - this is NO question )
