Hi,
I have been looking through various custom roms for optimus 2x and intend to install one very soon. Before installing i have some questions
1. What is baseband? How do i know which one to use?
2. What is the best/recommended steps to install a custom rom? I know what you have to do before installing a custom rom, what i meant is the order in which you should install custom rom, kernel, some performance packs and baseband, etc.
3. What do you look for in a rom before deciding to install one?
And finally, how can i help the development community?
1. baseband is the software for radio in the phone. You dont have to flash new, you can keep on you baseband from original rom, its not flashed automatically when you flash custom roms by clockworkmod. you only need to download lg getril for example from market and install matching rill to your baseband.
2.
step1: root phone
step2: instal clockworkmod
step3: download zip file with rom to your sdcard
step3: power off phone, then hold volume down + pover on(first volume button) until the clockworkmod starts
step4: backup phone in CWM
step5: every thread with custom rom have the manual how to flash in cwm, its easy.
You can read about it on modaco optimus 2x forum. Lets google it.
There are basically two types of rom for O2X, the one is based on the modified stock rom. the second one is cyanogenmod based rom, i like the cyanogenmod.
You should use matching kernel to type of rom(cyanogenomd, based on ofiicial), kernel is closer to handle hardware, i can imagine it like kernel is between hardware and ROM, ROM is between kernel and user.
3. you should try some ROMs and decide what you like.
EDIT
4. sorry for my bad english.
Your baseband is visible in Settings/About Phone. Try first to flash without changing it. Get the matching Ril with GetRil or LG Ril version in market.
To root you can use latest Superoneclick (see thread in dev section, it seems now to work with GB a well) or nvflash method (see rooting for dummies in dev section).
In the first case you instal cwm with ROM Manager from market, or your can flash it directly using Rusty!'s build (see stickies thread in dev section).
Nothing else to add to the above post. Two families of ROM as said, all coming from stock LG are based on 20L/M/O original ROM. Others are either cyanogen (see in Kang thread, as nightlies build bot is out of order for now) direct, or cyanogen derived (Miui).
Read carefully first posts in each ROM thread, and be sure to have always a back up.
Thanks tomsi91 and Striatum.

Your sig says : O2X Topogigi SP3 ROM upgraded to 20M - Horse Power 2x Kernel RC11 + Swap/Power Pack 9 lite - Ext4 - BB & RIL 0725 (V20L)
I wanted to know the order in which you installed it. Did you install the kernel first then added the rom or did you flashed the rom first then flashed kernel and the others in the order written in your sig
TIA
A bit of topic but anyways, my BB and RIL don't match so
1. If I match them what improvement would I have?
2. Do I really need to do it even if I am not having issues with call quality?

No reason to flash kernel first it will be overwritten by ROM.
ROMs are always coming with a kernel!
First: ROM. A good thing is to boot then, and follow the First Run Configuration Wizard.
Second: Flash Kernel of your choice.
Third Power Pack if you want, mandatory with SPica's kernels to have all features.

No Problem = No change.
Golden Rule.
just to add.. don't forget to back up your messages/app data/whatnot with titanium backup or whatever
also note that a lot of the LG system apps will obviously be gone when going to CM7 for eg:
the camera for one thing has it's pros and cons. a lot of people seem to prefer the stock camera
the music player doesn't have a cool landscape mode
fm radio is **** with only 6 presets
sound recorder doesn't let you change quality
no built in memo pad (but you can always get one from the market anyway)
and the LG widgets (i like their weather and calendar widget)
"backup and restore" app which was quite useful (i believe it's made by Sprite).. but no worries since there's titanium anyway
although perhaps these system apps are backup-able as an apk in titanium?
Stock LG apps can effectively be backed up as apk, but they can't be run on CyanogenMod, so no interest.
I bought 2x 3 days ago. The lg gingerbread is fine. But not that impressive. I want to root it but the problem is rooting, voids your warranty. Is there is any way so that you can backup the android os given default (by lg), so that you can install it later to claim ur warranty later on. And is there is anything else? to do please correct me.
1. Backup your phone content(contacts, msgs etc)
2. Backup your factory installed OS (I don't know. how to do that).
3. Root your phone by some rooting software(superoneclick,etc).
4. Flash new cm7 rom or any custom mod.
5. Done? please correct me if i'm wrong.

Baseband can't be changed with cwm. Only smartflash. And a custom ROM always come with a kernel or it can't boot...
Better to go back to ext3, in case the new ROM doesn't format. And to be sure no residual file will be left and not overwritten, that could cause troubles.

Is there a newer basaband than 1035.21_20110725? This version is the same in all latest stock ROMS (V10D, V20L, V20M). Flashing the V20M (with smartflash) will have a different baseband although it will say 1035.21_20110725? I installed the leaked V20o but I have problems with signal loss after some hours in stand-by.

It's one of numerous LG inconsistencies... Different BB with same number.
It seems in fact they are not the same. Try different Rils with GetRil, the 20o one but also the 20l etc...

I did try different RIL when I had the V20o. I changed the RIL V20o Europe to V20L Italia which I had with V20M update which I did through LG official update. Do you think flashing V20M with smartflash and then installing the V20o will fix the problem?
Thanks

Ello!
I'm getting my 2x in a couple days and I'm kinda new to all this custom ROM bamboozle. BUT I have been reading up on it all and I think I now have a vague idea of how to go about doing things. Would I be correct in saying:
1) Root
2) Install ROM manager/Clockwork thingy
3) Wipe phone/clear data etc
4) Flash temasek's KANG ROM
5) Flash Google applications or something (?)
6) Flash Vadonkas KANG kernel (I've heard it goes well with that ROM)
But I am fairly lost on:
. RIL and baseband. Do I need not bother with this if I have the ROM and stuff up to date? I'm not 100% sure what they are/do
. Whats the difference between these kang kernels:
-base version
-32M ramhack shared version
-32M ramhack version
Sorry for being a newbie and all, but a HUGE thanks to anyone that can lead me in the right direction
Thanks!
Baseband is what connects to your network. This is subjective on what one is best, but some roms, especially gb based roms, will specify which one you must use.
Ril is the bit that connects the bb stuff to all other things such as android and hardware etc. This is really easy to change using lggetril app from the market. Just check the one that is the same as your bb is called.
This may be a but simplistic by me but if unsure on bb to use ask in the thread of the ROM you're going to use

It seems that you are well prepared, but you should for safety, make a nandroid backup from recovery before you wipe your phone. It could come in handy...
Also, since you're not experienced I think you should wait with install of another kernel than the one that comes with Temasek's kang. This is the most stable one, and is least expected to bring your phone into an unwakeable sleep aka bsod.
For baseband; use the one that comes with the phone and check it out. If it works well, keep it, if not, then you can dig into the issue. Remember to use the getril app to match your ril with the baseband, CM7 comes with 218 ril, but your phone has probably a more recent baseband.
Welcome and good luck!

I have few queries if you could answer, I know they may be very modest, but still they are unclear to me if you could help
What is the difference between ROM/ Kernel/ Baseband?
If I apply a custom ROM will it change Kernel and Baseband too?
I did a nandroid backup before installing a custom ROM, but when I restore it, it doesn’t work the screen keep on flashing and nothing happens. Can you suggest something here?
Rom is like the OS, like froyo, gingerbread, cyanogenmod.
Kernel is like a bunch of drivers and sets of ways to execute those stuff by the OS.
I forgot about basebands and RILs.
Changing rom means changing everything but baseband & ril. The exeption would be temasek's cm7 kangs. He include 218 ril with his kangs. Kang is when you compile cm roms yourself and you can share it freely to people.
If restoring a nandroid backup didnt work, you probably restored it from a different version of cwm recovery. Maybe, you made the backup from version 4xxx and restored it over version 5xxx, vice versa.

There is no reason to change your baseband. Simply flash the rom you want, flash the kernel you want (if not included in the rom), download 'getril' from the market, use it to match baseband and ril... that's it.

Even after this post above i still confuse.
It is aways the same:

3 matching ril
4 change kernel

in my case the problema is the signal. I lost signal with frequency. Should a try only Baseband and then mathing ril?

When you flash a ROM everything is changed except for the baseband. The baseband sticks to your device no matter what ROM you're using. The only way to change it is using either Smartflash or nvflash.
What is the best Baseband / RIL combination? No one can answer that as each one of us is on a different mobile network with different settings and on different countries, so it's up to you to try and find out which is the best baseband / RIL for you.
By the way, flashing a new baseband will wipe out everything. Make sure you create a backup first.
Hope this clears things a bit for you now

Which baseband is the best?
The classic question. Unfortunately there is no good answer as this depends on your phones specific hardware, your carrier, your reception, your network, the universe and so on.
People with phones "Made in Korea" (you can see that on a sticker under your battery) usually have a better experience with SU660 Basebands. Apperantly the phones have some SU660 hardware parts inside.
Some people won't even get a connection with a specific baseband while others consider it the best.
You have to try for yourself!

my reception is horrible, that is the reason i am trying to change rom, bb, etc.
that is not the first time i read totally divergent information, so i am asking before brick my smarthphone.
the jargon used to change rom, bb in Android is totally new for me. I am reading the foruns i see people with exactly the same problem i have. But i see that aftfer ask 1, 2 times the person give up.
Was a total surprise for me that chaging the BB could wipe system data.
Looks like when i post in a dedicated thread people send me to the general Q&A, but when i ask questions in the Q&A, people send me to the dedicated threads even if i don't know wich are the steps and wich tools i should use to achieve what i want:
safely try the faster rom and solve the reception/signal problem.
Your reception problems may not have anything to do with your bb/ril. It could be that you simply have bad reception due to your location, carrier, etc. If you had bad reception with the stock rom, changing to a custom rom is probably not going to fix it.
If you just want a faster rom, then I think you should install the latest Nova HD v. 1.0.1.(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508492). Then use the custom installation option to experiment with different rils, different kernels etc. to find the best combination for you overall - and you don't have to do a full wipe every time once you are on an ICS ROM. Taking a backup of your rom with CWM is always a good idea though, just in case. You will not brick your phone as long as you follow the instructions given. It is actually pretty hard to brick your phone!
I use too Nova HD ir very smooth And a lot battery life.

Simply try different BB / RILs combinations (eg. BB420 and 420 RIL). You don't really need to use a matching RIL with your BB, but it is recommended. If you find a BB/RIL combination that gives you stable signal and data, then stick to it. That's how we do it.

Your data partition will be wiped out while flashing a new baseband. That is why you should get a backup first so you can get everything back later.

Hi Arthur, take a look here. You'll find there how to fix that
I am new to this forum,so first let me introduce myself.I am a doctor in india.
I bought this phone last year and like most users i was really disappointed with it. Intially it was froyo and then with extreme difficulty I updated to lg stock Gingerbread using its update too.I think the tool itself was buggy like most lg stock ROMs.
Anyway updating to gingerbread was a bad experiance .Too much lag in doing even basic phone use ,forget a smart phone experiance.Anyway not explaining in detail all the problems ,we all know it.
Was waiting for Official ICS release,so never thought of Unofficial ROMS since wud have made it difficult to update to stock ICS by company.
But last weak finally decided to try CM based ROMS and after some research decided to try Temasek CM7 based unofficial ROM build 132,
I must say what an experiance I had.From awesome to wow ,i am short of words to describe it .
So here i must thank everyone involved with XDA and especially cynogenmod and Temasek in perticular.
Thank you Temasek
Thank you XDA
Thank you cynogenmod
You all have made this ****ty phone into a delight to use .
I have installed " n " no of applications and still there is no lag and there is no shortage of RAM(and LAG due to IT) even after i week of using it ,which i used to have with stock gingerbread.
I must say i had been a noob and XDA and all you developers have made me into a mobile phone expert rooter ,flasher, etc.
I had few issues which i wud like to discuss,thanks in advance to anyone who helps me solve these.
I had flashed temasek CM7 build 132.and I had thought it wud also flash latest temasek kernel but it seems it didn't.
It now has kernal version [email protected] # 1
Mod version CM7-20120809
I basically want
1.A kernel with voodoo sound support
2.Ramhack
3.Good battery performance with 3G on.
4.Camera mod if possible.
Temesek could you give a small tutorial on variour kernels made by you,I looked various log changes made by you on p990 kernels but i am very confused.
Also what is difference b/w OC and uv etc
I have spent two days installing various applications on your ROM, so obviously will not like to do factory reset,data reset ,cache reset etc
before flashing any new kernel made by you.Kindly provide some suggestions on what i shud do.
Symbiosis kernel looks promising too but again don't want to wipe anything basically reinstalling all applications all over again.Any suggestions.
And yes I am sure you people in XDA wud soon release a fully functional ICS and even a jellybean based ROMS.So Now with my experiance i can say dont eeven want a LG stock ICS or jellybean even if they release it,untill then I wud stick to this wonderfull ROM by temasek
Thanks everyone and all the best to developers in their efforts on developing a fully functional ICS /jellybean based ROM.Hope to see it soon.
Hi if you already have temasek ROM installed on your phone you can flash latest symbi0sis kernel 1.1.2 without loosing any data! just flash the kernel via cwm and boot the phone - done
also symbi0sis is based on temasek kernel, works perfectly with temaseks ROM
after kernel install u can open the app GuesteOC and enable the ramhack with your preferred size in MB

Thanks for quick reply stefan.
So does that mean i dont need to do data/factory reset or cache reset before flashing symbiosis kernel or any other kernal .I have tons of app's installed ,don't you there can be bugs if i dont do a factory/cache reset before flashing symbiosis kernel.Its written in most threads that kernel flashing is similar to ROM flashing ,so data/ cache rest is advisable.
Where can i find GuesteOC app or can i use terminal emulator method as described in some threads

Np just flash the kernel without any wipes. it will wipe dalvik cache automatically. i guarantee you it won`t break your apps.
GuesteOC is included and will be installed automatically. no need for command line, everything as simple as possible with symbi0sis kernel!
if you try other kernels you might need to wipe dalvik cache first if they dont do automatically!
also u can do a backup in cwm first so if something goes wrong you restore the backup with all your apps.
Thanks stefan i will apply your Kernel today itself.Hope it solves everything ,Voodoo sound support ( i have the app with me) ramhack and good battery life too.Will post back if i face any issue.and offcourse my compliments
Also another question to you .You have said CWM backup/Restore .I did the same 3 days back before installing temasek ROM.But had forgotten to keep backup of some important SMS messages so tried to restore original stock LG ROM through CWM back up/and restore.
I Had a real shock it said that i had restored everything but my LG started rebooting again and again just stops at LG logo everytime.Even recoery was not accessible.So i had a torrid time going through variuos XDA thread .NVflashed stock froyo ROM and then flashed temasek ROM.
The only thing i missed was that i pressed backup/and restore straight from CWM app instead of going through manual recovery doing data/cache wipe and then restoring from Backup image.
Can you through some light on the serious issue that i had

Also another question to you .You have said CWM backup/Restore .I did the same 3 days back before installing temasek ROM.But had forgotten to keep backup of some important SMS messages so tried to restore original stock LG ROM through CWM back up/and restore.
I Had a real shock it said that i had restored everything but my LG started rebooting again and again just stops at LG logo everytime.Even recoery was not accessible.So i had a torrid time going through variuos XDA thread .NVflashed stock froyo ROM and then flashed temasek ROM.

Maybe it had to do with different file system (ext3 stock / ext4 temasek) -- afaik you need to flash back2ext3 or something when you want to go back to original stock ROM. However I have never done that (going back to orig stock). Next time best use "SMS Backup & Restore" (available in market) for backing up and restoring SMS after ROM change!
Good luck with the new kernel I'm sure everything will be fine.

I am new to this forum,so first let me introduce myself.I am a doctor in india.
I bought this phone last year and like most users i was really disappointed with it. Intially it was froyo and then with extreme difficulty I updated to lg stock Gingerbread using its update too.I think the tool itself was buggy like most lg stock ROMs.
Anyway updating to gingerbread was a bad experiance .Too much lag in doing even basic phone use ,forget a smart phone experiance.Anyway not explaining in detail all the problems ,we all know it.
Was waiting for Official ICS release,so never thought of Unofficial ROMS since wud have made it difficult to update to stock ICS by company.
But last weak finally decided to try CM based ROMS and after some research decided to try Temasek CM7 based unofficial ROM build 132,
I must say what an experiance I had.From awesome to wow ,i am short of words to describe it .
So here i must thank everyone involved with XDA and especially cynogenmod and Temasek in perticular.
Thank you Temasek
Thank you XDA
Thank you cynogenmod
You all have made this ****ty phone into a delight to use .
I have installed " n " no of applications and still there is no lag and there is no shortage of RAM(and LAG due to IT) even after i week of using it ,which i used to have with stock gingerbread.
I must say i had been a noob and XDA and all you developers have made me into a mobile phone expert rooter ,flasher, etc.
I had few issues which i wud like to discuss,thanks in advance to anyone who helps me solve these.
I had flashed temasek CM7 build 132.and I had thought it wud also flash latest temasek kernel but it seems it didn't.
It now has kernal version [email protected] # 1
Mod version CM7-20120809
I basically want
1.A kernel with voodoo sound support
2.Ramhack
3.Good battery performance with 3G on.
4.Camera mod if possible.
Temesek could you give a small tutorial on variour kernels made by you,I looked various log changes made by you on p990 kernels but i am very confused.
Also what is difference b/w OC and uv etc
I have spent two days installing various applications on your ROM, so obviously will not like to do factory reset,data reset ,cache reset etc
before flashing any new kernel made by you.Kindly provide some suggestions on what i shud do.
Symbiosis kernel looks promising too but again don't want to wipe anything basically reinstalling all applications all over again.Any suggestions.
And yes I am sure you people in XDA wud soon release a fully functional ICS and even a jellybean based ROMS.So Now with my experiance i can say dont eeven want a LG stock ICS or jellybean even if they release it,untill then I wud stick to this wonderfull ROM by temasek
Thanks everyone and all the best to developers in their efforts on developing a fully functional ICS /jellybean based ROM.Hope to see it soon.

Do restores this way
1>wipe data/factory reset
2>wipe cache partition
3>flash back2ext3
4>restore
Upgrade your cwm recovery to 5.0.2.0 or 5.0.2.8 (non-touch cwm)

Thanks everyone all issues solved ,and i knw now whuy i bricked my phone while restoring back.
Stefen your kernel is awesome.Perfect combination for temasek's ROM
I think i will stick to this ROM for a while,untill temasek or someone comes out with a fully functional ICS/jellybean based ROM.Will never flash stock LG ICS's based ROM even if LG bring it out(Hope LG release it soon that shud provide d missing drivers that we urgently need).
Temasek your ROM is d "project butter" for me.I dont feel d need to wait for jellybean ROM.And yes i already have cwm 5.0.20 version recovery installed.
Hello
I've spent the last 24 hours browsing the O2x section of XDA, and decided that I might change the ROM and/or kernel. I'm considering either Paranoid Android or DjangoManouche ROMs with the KingOfBirds Kernel (If i go with DM) or Kowalski Kernel. However, I have some questions that I just can't find the yes/no answer for. Would anyone be able to answer these for me?..
1. I am running Stock Rooted ICS V30A with CWM v6.0.1.5, busybox and adb installed, which I assume I achieved through steps 3 and 8 on the AIO toolkit because I didn't do anything else.
Does this translate to "I am on the new partition layout with EXT4, have cwm recovery and can proceed to install kernels and ROMS for the new partition layout"?
2. I generally use my p990 for gaming, movies and internet yet still using it as a phone at school. None of the kernels (Kowalski's or KingOfBirds) I am looking at using state whether or not they have Tegra H/W acceleration support, which I do not want to loose. Do the above/all kernels for the p990 support H/W acceleration? :fingers-crossed:
3. Do the kernels and ROMs above still allow me to edit vold.fstab and have a 32gb internal memory from my sd card?
4. I see a lot of people saying CM10 is the best, but a lot of posts with questions and fixes for bugs with it. Any users of this one able to tell me if it is stable and would be suitable for me (see question 2)?
And if you are using DM or Paranoid Android, what are they like for someone who wants a nice fast stable O2X?
5. Will backing my apps up with Titanium and zipping my internal storage be enough to save my game data? $9m on Hill Climb Racing I don't want to loose.
6. When I am changing, should I format my phone in cwm, and then flash the kernel after ROM? (eg DM -> KingOfBirds)
hi there! i'll try to answer some of your questions:
1) you are on the new bootloader and should flash rom's for this particular setting(this doesn't necessarily mean you can't go back to the old bootloader-search for unbrick tutorial in development section)
2) from what i know they do(someone correct me if i'm wrong)
3)i don't know
4)i can assure you that official cm10 is an excellent rom and you should try it ) (i for one never had any major problems(bug call,bsod) and will return to it after some testing )
5) i think it will do just fine
6)every custom rom has some guiding points in the first post(and second and maybe third ) ) please do follow them and you will have no trouble.
good luck!

Thanks a million vader I'm going to give CM10 a shot on that note, but like you said if someone can confirm for sure if the H/W acceleration works that would be great too.
I don't think that h/w acceleration is something that lacks in the post-cm9 roms. After lg released both official ics, sources and our cm device maintainer aremcee(ricardo) got hold of them all stock roms and cm variants have hwa. I can confirm that tonyp, in his ParanoidAndroid has the option to assign which app to use hwa

Cool ok, Thanks again Just one last question - should I install kernels before/after zip if not specified by creator?I think I'm going to try pengus77's kernel and CM10 build for the new bootloader.
Flash the kernel after you're done with the rom. Cheers!

That was the last question hopefully Backing up my phone atm (done cwm, titanium and AIO backups, i should be covered ) and then I'm going to shoot this rom and kernel at it. I'll post back how it goes.
Hi All,
Slowly getting use to my Note, and totally loving it... Yes, I have joined this party very late... But trust me, this device is PREMIUM compared to my last phone... So enjoying all what it has to offer...
However....
1) Is there a way to check your backups in CWM?? Just did a backup of what has taken me 2x days to finely tune the ROM.. only to find it failed an MD5 check and so wont restore.... - POINTLESS backup
2) Is there any official Samsung Stock Roms (UK pref / International) that are converted/flashable via CWM?? (Dont mind if they are GB, ICS or JB) I will of course be using Philz Kernel if its ICS based....
3) Are there any CLEAN Gingerbread roms available, either based off official Samsung GB or if there was a clean CM7 build...??
Other than that, I think most things are cool with the N7000
Thank you, Lister

1. Yes go to clockwork mod folder on SD card
2. Yes search for stock DEODEXED ROM
3. Yes search. No cm7 ever though. There is a thread that lists all roms.

Hi AndroidSlave,
Thank you for your prompt answer(s).... Indeed it certainly was helpful for No2)
1:
However, not sure what you mean by going to the folder in CWM?? I was in CWM and started the backup, watched a bit of TV and came back to find the phone had rebooted, didnt tell me if it was successful or not, just ready to use phone again. Would of been nice if CWM had failed for it stay on that screen and show an error. I have since wiped the phone and now the backup is useless... All the files are there, and all 1.2Gb of data is present in seperate files. Not sure if I can flash them one at a time, although not a great way to restore...
2:
Brilliant, thank you... I had no idea that a DEODEXED rom was what I was after, and is indeed a Stock... I have got XXLSZ, is this the latest best one for this????
3:
I did find that thread already, but a lot of the Roms in there are tweaked and not clean/pure.... I wondered if there was a STOCK (DEODEXED) Gingerbread Rom that can be flashed in CWM, or if there was ever a build of CM7 for the N7000 note... As far I can see there is no CM7, which surprises me as the phone shipped with Gingerbread and the phone itself was considered premium at the time, so would of thought the CM team would of done one...??
But yeah, thank you for your help...
When installing a GB rom (beit Stock or AOSP) do I need to use a custom Kernel then, and if so, who???
Thanks, Lister

sorry i misunderstood what you were asking. CWM should NOT automatically reboot, so to me that means you had an unsuccessful backup. It should at the end say something like backup complete... also, regarding a million files in blob folders for CWM, that is not the best format. in backup settings, change the format to "tar" not "dup"

if you want the info, search for the difference b/t deodexed and odexed on google, its interesting..
But yeah LSZ is a little old (almost a year now).
I would go with something XXLT4, LT5, LT6, LT9, or LTA (in order of newest, but there have been no major changes since LT4, so LT4 is fine), if you can find one. be sure to always include /preload in your full wipe procedure when flashing stock roms.
Another option is to just flash a FULL stock ROM, then Flash PhilZ (PC Odin or Mobile Odin) - but beware using odin and not have all the knowledge puts you in the DANGER ZONE of killing your phone with the brick bug

to Install GB via flashable zip, you can flash via Mobile Odin or CWM - or if the thread has special install instructions, follow those
this search string gets a few results

As for CM7, they just never did it... CM9 was first.
Also, I know you're looking for stock stuff right now, but CM10.2 is a MAJOR upgrade from CM7. The official CM10.2 nightlies are pretty amazing.
But thats all opinion, the stock has a lot of cool features and benefits... just not for me (i used to love it, but its too bloated and slow)
