Question [Q] Going to CyanogenMod

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).

Current Device: Samsung Galaxy SII (and happy with it)


Previous Android Device: HTC Desire (Awesome for it's days)
Android ® 2.2 FroYo | Kernel 2.6.32.15-gf9c9527 | Build 2.09.405.8 CL218634
Android ® 2.1 Eclair | Kernel 2.6.29-0cb9f166 | Build 1.21.405.2 1.21.405.2 CL174215

Previous WM Devices
HTC Touch Diamond2 (Great device ! Restored my faith in HTC)
HTC S730 (Bad build quality, low on memory, bad device)
IMATE-SP5 (Solid Build quality, everything worked flawlesly)

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
CM10.1

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.
