I know this. I guess i should have elaborated on my Q.
I would like to know the differences/new features and what not..
What are the key features or upgrades to look forward to experiencing/having.
If your phone is a slow one like mine,I wouldn't upgrade.

define slow? i have a moto triumph and it seems to do the job.
CM9 isn't out yet right? When is it coming out? I want it so bad
There are many alpha and beta builds of CM9 for many phones out already however unless you know what you're doing, I wouldn't use them yet.
its out already but still in dev
Can't wait to get a working version on my G2X to try out but I need my phone for school so it has to be stable :S lols
CM9 ICS SHOULD be a better performer, depending on processor. I have Deck's 4.0.3 ICS running on my HTC EVO 4G and I can say it's definitely snappier than CM7 on the same phone. Some of that is due to hardware acceleration using the GPU, I believe. I'm currently using NovaLauncher but I've tried Trebuchet and they are very similar in look and feel and I like that alot, NovaLauncher just seems to be a bit more mature. I'm anxiously awaiting CM9 on the EVO and will be on that like white on rice when it becomes available.
Ooo do you have a picture? that would be cool to see. I'm still running gingerbread on my g2x lol

where can i find nova launcher and treb..??
CM9/ICS is more refined than previous versions of android IMO: More consistency, swiping gestures are well used everywhere... list goes on!!~~
Funnily enough, CM9/ICS seems to run fine on my older devices. On the Galaxy tab 7, ICS is running smoother than CM7/GB did for me. Some things don't function perfectly (camera) but then in GB other things didn't work either.
On a much older device, like the Nexus one, CM7/GB seems to run smoother, CM9 lags a bit more.

I bought my htc inspire 4g on saturday and rooted, s-off'd, flashed clockworkmodrecovery and flashed CM7 last night. Big change! I love it though, but im a bit ocd and cm7 seems heavier than i thought it would, most likely because of ADW, Is there a flavor, build, etc of CM7 7.0 or 7.2 with gingerbread launcher like the nexus s?
Thanks!

Nope it's ADW, themed, not as smooth or fast as the gingerbread stock launcher.
Maybe ill just stick with it for now, but does anyone know if theres a zip i can flash ontop of CM7.2 that will give me it maybe?

Why not go into Market and search for gingerbread launcher?
It doesn't matter that you are on the inspire.
Try MoDaCo's version
the gingerbread launcher on the nexus s is hardware accelerated for the app drawer portion, using the graphics chip. so it wont be as smooth on the inspire or other android phones...the homescreen and side swiping will be the same though, just not the 3d app drawer.
I recently rooted my inspire, first android device, and installed CM7 because it seemed amazing, not saying it isn't. I like CM7, but i like pure Gingerbreads gingerygoodness even better. I am currently running CM7-Phunky Cow "flavored"
and i like it because of the actual launcher and runs higher quadrant scores.
I like pure gingerbread, but i think i may miss the cm7 settings, some i use, also i miss HTC widgets and camera, etc, but i cant stand sense anymore.
Anyone have recomendations on ROMS, or CM7 Flavours/Mods?

I have tried that and it seems alot heavier then CM7, and that's not really what im aiming for, plus the theme is wierd on it, im not sure how i'd go with changing that.

Right now Cm7 is starting to make me not like my phone for some reason so let's put it this way, is there a Stable, User-Friendly, non sense rom out there thats gingerbread?
The nature of all custom roms are beta's nothing more, every rom including the stock non rooted rom is subject to hiccups.

If you're looking for a Gingerbread build with Sense, try RCMix 5.9.x, available for download directly via CWM.

It's using a home launcher.
If you want a pure GB home launcher, or have it look like CM7, just download ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro.

I love MIUI but with ICS buzz, I'm going with CM7 and a ICS theme.
MIUI got too buggy for me. I haven't tried the new updates in fear I will love it too much.
LG G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Asus Transformer - 3.7 Revolver OC/UV
CM7, only because MIUI on the G2x isn't exactly the most stable. I was spoiled with the MIUI on the MT4G, thing was a beast and never had any bugs.
The MIUI on the G2x is good for the most part, but gets slow and has bugs here and there that bothers me so I'm happy with CM7.
I use Miui now and it seems pretty stable. I choose miui because it just looks really nice and runs soo smoooth.
--> Miui and Cm7 are both very good roms.. you should try out both to see what's best for you.

Depends on what CM version you use. You also need to properly factory reset your phone, clear caches, etc because CM7 is a different beast entirely. Coming from other roms, especially stock roms such as Weapon, it is especially important to do the proper flashing techniques or you WILL run into problems.
That said, MIUI should be better now. I dropped off months ago when only Whitehawk was developing for it (aka just porting the latest version). Now we actually have devs focusing on MIUI for the G2x and trying to work out the kinks. It should be much better now.
MIUI isn't as compatible as CM7 with apps and such. More apps will not work on MIUI vs Stock or CM7. Most do, but this is something to expect if you run MIUI and your favorite app won't launch.
I had too much fun with MIUI though. Always changing my lockscreen type, always themeing, changing this and that. Gets addicting.
MIUI is different and most people get turned off by the iPhone-like launcher. But throw ADW EX or Go Launcher and you'll love it.

I started with a Cm7 rom and ics theme and then went to miui recently. Theres an ics theme for it too.
Using the galnet ics version that whitehawk ported over. Miui is different and at first I didn't like it, but I spent a day or two with it and I grew to like it. I think I just wanted something different since ics is a ways off.

Miui
I hated Miui when I first installed it, my phone would boot loop after calls that weren't answered, random reboots throughout the day, and it was a major battery hog. That was about 3 months ago.
I have it installed now and I love it. I have no problems at all with it, save about a 1 minute warm up time for an accurate lock on gps. Coupled with Juice defender and Launcher Pro, I get all the battery I need, and an app drawer with mods that rock!
love miui. been using whitehawk builds since he started and have no problems with stability, performance, or compatibility. I prolly wont even flash ics when we finally get it because its so hard to give up the level of customization miui offers.

I agree but now they have a ics miui can wait to they get on the g2x or o2x ethier way we can get it
yup. hope current themes will be compatible or updated quickly.
miui all day with a touch of an ICS theme. The customization of MIUI is just unparalleled at this point. The ONLY bug with the current build of MIUI that urked me was when you connect your phone via usb to a pc it sometimes freezes/randomly reboots. But with wifi explorer this issue is easily bypassed. All in all i still love it

are you saying that will be on the G2X today? just confused, but if so I'm backing my phone up now lol.
Probably means "one day". I know MIUI was already using some of the ICS source files but since they are based off CM7 kernel, one would think CM9 would have to be out first.
EDIT
Looks like pics have surfaced of MIUI running on top of ICS and the source was annouced... I don't think this means it will come out for the G2x today. Supposedly it is based off the CM9 kernel with hardware acceleration enabled.

I'd use MIUI if it was as stable as CM is on this phone. MIUI is a great ROM, but i always fall back to CM7 after sometime.
I've been using miui for a few days and I must say it's pretty stable.loving the camera as well.OVERALL switching from a mytouch4g I really miss Sense

Which Android OS do like?
I'm talking 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.7, ICS.
What ROM r u using and sense or no-sense.
I'll start
Mostly I've been 2.3.5-sense ARHD. that gives me a few different options.
Right now its ARHD 2.3.4 runs good, no prob.
Virtuous Inquistion -- Senseless ICS. I used to like Sense a lot, but when I started using CM7 I don't think I could go back. Sense is very user friendly and accessible, but it the UI just looks a bit too tacky for my taste. AOSP, especially ICS, is very simple and eloquent.
I switched my sensation with my wifes SGS2 and after a day or so I switched back. Guess I got used to sense or it grew on me. I just dont care for how it will sometimes lag for no reason at all. Never saw that on CM7.
Yeah true. Sense is the best manufacture UI. TouchWiz is just trash.

+1 for Virtuous Inquisition, for the same reasons stated above. Plus it's surprisingly stable compared to the full sense ics roms we have right now.
I've been a huge 2.3.4 advocate up until this point, but honestly I don't think I can go back now.

What about gaming on the sensation? any rom preference? any preference for roms/games combos?
i've been playing bejeweled but I want to play GTA but couldn't get it to work.
I know cordy and fruit ninja were big problems for a minute on the 2.3.4 ROMs.
ICS with ASOP is finally a nice replacement for Sense UI and its cleaner and faster...
I have voted for 2.35, but the newest ICS-Elegancia Rom sounds very good.
Virtuous Inquisition here... would prefer CM9 if available but this is pretty good. I cant stand Sense.. its definitely better than TouchWiz (Samsung) and Motoblur (Motorola) but its still trash compared to vanilla/AOSP

I just got mine about three days ago.
Coming from a Galaxy, EVERYTHING about HTC sense makes me sick to my stomach.
Went with the one with most views I saw - AndroidRevolutionHD, and went through the INSANE process of going from stock to ICS.
Now running 1.7GHz, replaced HTC sense with the AOSP themes.
Only bugs I see so far are htc.bg crashing, messaging app getting rather wonky with multiple texts, and the music controls sticking on the lockscreen after Google Music closes. Also no MMS at home for me. No signal, Wifi calling only, but the AOSP app doesnt support that. Boohoo.
So that's my reccomendation.

Didn't try this Rom but if it realy have this bugs its not useable i think.
For most people its more important to make calls than use BT or make videos.
But o.k everybody has their own needs.
Did you ever try One of Trips roms?
Dont think so because than you would not say that there is not much difference in speed between Sense with AOSP theme / launcher and pure AOSP.
