Okay, CyanogenMod custom Roms are certainly among the best, there are others that are equally good. Though I chose to use Cyanogen Mod since a lot of people recommended it on XDA developers forum. So what did I think? Well over all, clearly noted by Cyanogen, the ROM is still in beta. And it is very apparent to the user.
When I first installed it I had wifi on, tried to turn it off and it hangs. Luckily there is a services.jar file you can install to fix this. Then the phone randomly goes in to sleep mode. At times the phone wont receive any updates (email, gmail, facebook, weather, google voice etc…). I have to reboot the phone a lot to get these features working. So there is the bad, what about the good. Well the good is the bugs are being worked out hence the term beta.
The rest of the good are as follow: CM updater app in the app store. The rom is supported through google code so you can post bugs and requests directly to cyanogen. You can install custom apps that you can’t get in the app store, themes with out buying the lame add ons. Clear the cache, my favorite app, and you can even claim you had a hand in the overall development of the ROM as a beta tester. I mean you didn’t actually write the code but you can still support the development of the ROM and that goes a long way.
Over all I would recommend it, sure it is buggy but as I said it is still beta. You can get it at the XDA forum’s or almost any where. I encourage xda forums, trusted links are always posted there.
