Well I received the Nitro a couple of days ago and I right away I rooted and unlocked the phone. Anyway, I tried numerous CM9 roms and every single one of them was extremely laggy with force closes and random reboots.
I finally installed this rom even though there is not much development going on currently but it seems to work beautifully (besides the camera and keys not lighting up).
Am I the only one who cannot get any of the CM9 roms to function correctly? I tried CM9 RC1, CM9 Nightly, HO!NO! FT, [CM9][SGS III theming], etc. with no luck. They all boot but start crawling along after a couple of minutes. It seems like the processor is getting pounded but I cannot even check it because nothing is functional. I am starting to regret getting this phone even though the hardware is excellent.
That said this AOSP works beautifully so far (after a few hours of usage).
