Cyanogen Mod roms??

[dansharpy]

Im fairly new to the whole rooting/custom rom game (have a rooted DHD running Leedroid HD V2.2.2) and keep seeing Cyanogen Mod popping up everywhere!! Whats this ROM all about? I have read its a nightly so is constantly being updated, but is there any stable versions? Do normal android apps run on this platform? Is there any advantage to moving to one of these roms as opposed to a Froyo or GB rom? I only use my DHD for fairly basic stuff (gaming, navigation, music, email etc.) but do like it to be fast and look a bit different to every other DHD!!!

Thanks in advance! Dan

Oops Many but basic questions....CyanogenMod is currently CM7 series...its based on GB only....but no-Sense....there are RC2 available which is stable enough...no reboots or crashs.....

Its an android rom only so all the application runs on this..

The only thing which you are going to miss is video player as the video player on the sense rom is nice....but alternative are available.

you will get many other things....speed is one of them...

Hope I have answered some...

Awesome, thanks for the reply. I use Zimly for movie watching anyway so not bothered about loosing the sense player! Is there any advantage to using the cyanogen rom over say the leedroid/revolution GB roms??

Thanks again!!

It will remove sense...you can just see that sense roms are 200MB and CM7 is just 80MB...lot of bloat will be off and speed will be there...but if you love sense then its a different case...

CM has a good support so lot of features are getting added regularly...try it and see if it is of your liking.....try CM7-RC2

Ok so its basically the core Gingerbread with out sense. That sounds pretty good, ive never actually used Android without sense (DHD is my first android device!) so think i might give it a go!! Thanks again for the advice and thanks for the link!!
