CyanogenMod and custom ROMs are two different things. It is true that you can create custom ROMs based off of the CyanogenMod builds, but since we don't have those stable builds, the devs create ROMs based off of the i9000 etc. ROMs.
The CyanogenMod builds are built from scratch; that is why we don't currently have a stable CM build. Once a stable CM build is out, though, there'll be some awesome ROMs based off of it.

OOOOOO that makes sense now. i didnt realize CM was like that, i just thought it was a rom that had been adapted for a wide range of phones(devices)
thanks.

[Q]Why Speed Freak Roms are only made on CM7

Why speedy and modded roms are made only on CM7?
Is there some limitation or restriction?
Who told you that only speedy roms are CM 7?
Most of the Stock 2.3.6 ROMs are Fast and Stable....
CM 9, CM 10, CM 11 are also Speedy if they are properly tweaked and configured....

CM7 roms are the Android Gingerbread based roms. Due to our Ace's hardware restriction, it can only run Gingerbread roms to its maximum potential. That is the exact reason why Samsung didn't provide an OS upgrade after the Gingerbread 2.3.6. This means no other roms, be it CM9, CM10 or CM11, will be able to run as fast and stable as Gingerbread roms(CM7+ Stock). You will be able to run CM9, CM10 or CM11 on Ace because they are twerked to such an extend inorder to reduce lag. Not only would all features not work with them, but also it won't be as fast and stable as Gingerbread roms. But there are users who loves the looks of CM9 and above more than CM7. So in the end its upto you to choose. Hope I Helped

it is not like that brother
they just have lower ram usage as compared to cm 9 10 and 11 so they look more fast as them { which is a truth}
but other roms many based on stock like adrenaline rom is also good option and cm 9 by mr @Rhievaldo is also a good option cos it is a hell good rom

Why not any on cm9,10...

[Q] Which stable i9305 ROM with monthly release schedule?

I'm looking for a stable ROM for my i9305 which has strong release management: I don't want to run nightlies/weeklies and would would expect releases to be bug free or at least have an itemised list of know issues.
In short, I'm more interested in stability than quick releases of new features. A solid release every month would be ideal.
Sadly, CM11 is out - the dev doesn't seem to want to release the "milestone" or monthlies that our brother the i9300 has.
What ROMs have a track history of bug-free releases? I'm after a longer time between releases, and solid stability.

Have you tried the latest TGP (The Galaxy Project) rom? Very stable and highly customisable i've been using it for months now with no issues.

Unofficial Slimkat does the trick for me. Incredibly stable and tremendous battery life with Boeffla Omni kernel.

I'm a bit wary of unofficals after my previous unoffical ROM developer (Archidroid - rodman01) just put [discontinued] on the xda thread and then walked away!
I settled for LiquidSmooth (which I believe is based on Slimkat) and did a DIY on Boeffla

Thanks, that one looks really good. I like that it's possible to select kernels at install time. Also a great selection of pre-installed apps.
I've since installed LiquidSmooth, but will keep this one firmly in mind!!
If you are looking for another AOSP rom, try C-rom, stable and has a ton of customization
Just wondering, what version of liquidsmooth are you using?

I bumped into C-ROM looking for a ROM wife's i9000. It looked quite impressive, but I found that updating her kennel did the trick, so didn't try it. I prefer AOSP over TouchWiz, I'll keep one in mind, thanks.
I'm on LS KK 3.1 stable, with self-installed Boeffla kernel. I'm loving it.
please Which boeffla for liquid 3.1 for my i9305,thanx

Carbonrom is pretty good. Clean Aosp feel to it and battery is pretty decent with boeffla

C-rom is awesome! Tons of customization and really stable. Sadly it has not been updated in awhile.
I was running liquid smooth 3.2 nightly(currently on carbon ROM). Btw are you using the CyanogenMod or omni boeffla kernel?

Stock based custom rom

AOSP based and cm based ROMs haven't been stable as of now,it doesn't mean it lessens affort of developers like akhil or varun but we need stock based ROMs in the meantime if you see nexus 5 forum there you have "catacalysm"
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-cataclysm-nexus-5-t2518660)which is most appropriated rom over there. It is essentially a stock rom modified with some gravitybox like features .It even supports RRO layERS. I am not a dev by any mean don't have computer to try out these things but we have well more than capable developers who could develop such ROMs quite easily.What do you think is it worth it?

What's the difference between Temasek and official Cyangenmod?

I know the former is based on the latter

Slim,Tipsy OS try please..

I have tried a few and I like Cyanogenmod the most.
Works great, looks great and very stable.
Hard to say what you mean with fastest, I see now slowdowns on any roms.
the kernel of unofficial cm13 is based on the xiaomi's kernel source, so in my opinion it is smooth.
All cm based roms (all non miui roms) have the same speed, because they are useing thebsame kernel and device tree, so its up to you...
CM is the best!
Even the official MIUI (and it forks) is fast, it's just the animation that differs from CM based ROMs, app loading and execution time should be similar. As of now, the period of custom kernel has just begun, so most ROMs are still using the same kernel.
