What's the differnce between OpenSensation and CM9 - HTC Sensation

Hey guys I am a little confused here. I thought OpenSensation and CM9 are the same or at least CM9 is based on OpenSensation. But after I asked some questions in the CM9 nightly thread i understood I was wrong.
So what is the difference between these builds:
http://get.cm/?device=pyramid
And the builds from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494373&page=873
I was told the first link has nothing to do with OpenSesnation but they are both CM9 so I am confused and I can't find any info.
The http://get.cm link is from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29577778#post29577778 and I thought it is the thread for the CM9 nighlites and this one is for more stable builds: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494373&page=873
But seems I am wrong in the http://get.cm there are 2 RC and in the other thread only one RC so what is the difference thank you

I can't believe nobody knows. Please guys give me some short explanation or a link because I've read a lot and still can't find out what is the difference.

CyanogenMod is CyanogenMod. That's all. OpenSensation is basically exactly the same, but with device-specific fixes that CyanogenMod doesn't accept(at least in this case) because they're hacks. Not all are hacks, obviously, but in the situation of OpenSensation, they are. Which is basically the reason for its existence. Examples would be OpenSensation having 1080p recording whereas official CyanogenMod doesn't. This question has been answered multiple times in both threads, though. Try searching them next time.

Well the threads are hundreds of pages and on the OP post there isn't info so it would be hard to search them. So the Vorbeth thread is CM9 based on OpenSensation and the other with the nighlties is the original CM9?
And OpenSensation is better then CM9 when comparing functions and tweaks?

OpenSensation is based on CM9, and has nightly builds available from Tamcores' webpage :
CM9 is CM9.
And then there's AOKP to add into the mix as well.
As to which one is better, well that all depends on each users' preference.
Best thing to do is to try each one out and see which one you prefer.

This is based off of Android Open Source, but the kangs are based off of CM9 source
whitehawk made a thread in the Dev so check out there and make sure you know what you're doing and read, if I remember he got rid of his g2x so he needs logcats and substantial info on what is broken... not crying about things people.

This.
Stable mod = EVERYTHING working.
There's some pretty hardcore limitations with bluetooth and camera recording.
Kudos to them for still trying.
We won't be getting any CM7 updates, as all dev has switched to ics/cm9.
There is a pretty good cm9 build going in the dev section, open sensation, and the main guy in that thread + some others are working on getting stuff merged in cm repos.

cm9 is being improved for sensation everyday. try the opensensation rom by vorbeth, its a cm9 rom. vorbeth adds his improvements to the rom, everything else is pure cm9. btw, many of vorbeth's mods were added to cm9 for sensation, he is doing great work!

stock android, cm9, cm10 info?

Hi all.
I am interested in running a vanilla ICS or JB rom on this phone, and CM9 or CM10 will also do. Where can I find information on builds for this phone? Cyanogenmod does not have it under their "supported" devices....
There is a whole forum containing what you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1726
Yes I am aware of that forum, but I posted here because it was a "question"...?
My confusion is that there seem to be a ton of forks from cm9/cm10 and I didnt know if there was one that was better than another, or how to go about weeding through them. Its just messy to try and figure out.

There are only 4 options? AOKP ICS, AOKP JB, CM9 and CM10. You can pretty much disregard all the other ones if you're looking for CM based roms. Also, we are officially supported by CM10...Though you should read that forum before downloading and flashing. Some of the unofficial fixes have not been merged yet.

Ok, thanks!
I am reading up on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790032
which hopefully should give me all the info I need to know.
What are your thoughts on stability/battery life with CM10 or CM9? I am on the fence between this and the S3, and would lean a bit more towards whichever one would get the most stable, updated rom....

CM10 is stable enough for a daily driver as long as you don't rely on your camera/video camera too much (though this may be fixed now, didn't test). However, with nightlies you're always risking flashing a broken build. That's just how the game is played on any device.

[Q] (Q) Most Stable Non-Touchwiz ICS ROM?

Hi there,
I just got the Rogers S2 LTE for my wife. I rooted the phone and am looking to install a Non-Touchwiz ICS ROM for her. There seems to be many great ROMS for this phone but it is a little overwhelming, I've been using the HTC Desire Z and Inspire and this is my first taste of Samsung Smartphones. I'm currently using Ice Cold Sandwich AOKP for my Inspire and really like it. Can anyone recommend something similar for the Skyrocket? I've tried the stable version of CM9 and like it but want to know what else is available. I would like something that is stable as she will be using it as a daily ROM. Any recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks.
Please read through the threads for the various ROMs and make your own decisions. "Best" threads like this one are not allowed because they lead to flaming and migraines.
This ^ and if uve been on xda for awhile u should know that questions should be posted in the Q&A section and not in the general section

My bad, I was debating which section to post it in. I will try all the different ROMS to see which works best for her. Thanks for replying.
As far as non-tw goes, aokp (I believe milestone 6 was the latest ics build) or cm9 are probably your best bets.
Not sure if you've seen it but there is a list of ICS ROMs in vincom's sticky here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785999
I would go through them for options and see what appeals if ICS is important for you. I had good results with Magic Whiz R2, which you might like as a tweaked version of CM9. You're not going to see a lot of dev effort around ICS based ROMs, most have switched focus to JB and with the new CM10 nightlies for the skyrocket even more so (you might consider that too if you like CM9).

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. I will try those ROMS first.
First wrong section. Second, search, read, test them out and make that decision yourself.

[Q] OpenSensation cm10?

Hello, I saw on the OpenSensation thread that it had a source code for CM10. Is there any release of this, or would i have to compile it or something similar? I would have posted there, but it seems that i am not allowed too.

Sadly that's not OpenSensation, which is what the OP is asking for
From what I know, there may be CM10 for OpenSensation but like all say, don't ask for ETA
It'll come when it does
JellyBean OpenSensation would be very awesome :fingers-crossed:
There are testing builds for os2. If you really want to try them out on your own risk check tamcore's twitter for the link.
