[Galaxy S I9000 General] kaynpayn:
While i agree that the content of this thread started by being kind of useless, people may take this as reference. With that in mind i'll add my personal experience to OP's arguments. I am assuming the latest stable CM release for this which is what i use daily since it came out. Pointing out bugs or stuff failing in nightlies is totally pointless, after all.

I have to use a custom kernel. Because 3D performance is so poor on stock cm kernel.

> wouldn't know. Have around 25 games installed and had issues with none. I don't dabble very much with heavy 3D games on a phone, not a fan of the virtual analog stick. Never felt the need for a kernel change either, CM's stock does everything i need.

-Yaffs2 is so corruptable.

> i had this as not being true. Think i've seen somewhere people saying there was no trouble with this file system. According to YAFFS's website

(http://yaffs.net/yaffs-nand-specific-flash-file-system-introductory-article)

"YAFFS uses journaling, error correction and verification techniques tuned to the way NAND typically fails, to enhance robustness."

So, if it's a filesystem using journaling, it has a way of reducing a chance of data corruption like the alternatives. Not sure about other differences between FS's but i've read this is what people deem as acceptable for data loss prevention.

Also, i've yet to experience data loss.

-No TV-Out because of samsung source codes.

> indeed. If this is a must have then it's a deal breaker. Although i'm yet to see anyone around me having a SGS that would actually use it's tv-out features. Never even seen on sale the specific tvout cable this phone uses in my country.

-With stock samsung camera app we have panaroma mode. Which is a new feature of new ics. We have it since eclair.

> True story. But that's easy to overcome. Just get an app from market like photaf.

-Even no world clock or timer on aosp. We have smart alarm with stock.

> Again, loads of apps on market, just pick your poison.

-I have to flash gapps.

> You gave yourself the trouble to replace a whole system. That's far more trouble than flashing a simple package. Takes just a few seconds to do it. And most you can get from market too.

-I have to flash radio. (JVK is not good for me.)

> If your stock rom doesn't bring the one that works for you you'd have to flash it anyway. It's quite fast too as modems are really small.

-Compass is not good. And gps too.

> Yea, i've seen some people saying this as well. I downloaded "Compass" from market and tried it out in several places comparing to a real one. Didn't make much difference so i'm assuming it's working correctly. GPS is a worn out subject. never really worked for me, no matter what rom i used.

-No hardware acceleration. Browser is laggy. Flash items too.

> I'm not even sure if any rom actually used hardware acceleration for browsing. First time i've heard about doing it was ICS. I did hear people saying something about browser being laggy if it was deodexed and if some compiler (not sure) was being used. But to be honest i've never used the default browser. Always been with opera mobile (it's important being the mobile and not mini). No lag whatsoever. Flash does stutter for a micro second while loading but it does play well and lag free after that. But this is flash we're talking about, it's heavy by nature.

-There is no real hapctic feedback.

> Not sure what you mean. Settings -> Sound settings -> Haptic feedback (last setting on the bottom). Don't like it but just tried it and it works.

-Accelerometer is laggy. Because of libs.

> Another one i've seen some people saying. Works great here i can play games like abduction and labyrinth perfectly. Also downloaded "Accelerometer" from market and it seems to be working fine.

-Battery life is still not much.

> Depends on how much you use it. Lasts easily a day with a few phone calls, loads of text messages, around 4 hours/day of screen on, always with wireless on. Got home at the end of the day and still had around 40%. More than a day is unrealistic, most likely i'd just end up having enough power for half a day if i don't charge overnight. While we're at it, CM doesn't have that dealbreaking bug that can be found on stock roms that makes your phone start using battery when it gets charged to 100% causing massive battery drops when the charger is unplugged. I actually downgraded to froyo just to prevent that.

-Touchwiz calendar and clock is great. Also I like tw keyboard launcher and great sns feature.

> i'm not sure what to say here. If it's touchwiz laucher you're missing you can just download it from the applications section here in XDA. Calendar and clocks have better alternatives from market anyway and i always replace the stock sms app with handcent or GO SMS pro.

-720p video recording + playing = choppy.

> i go to lots of concerts. Always record about half of it on the best resolution the phone has. No issues. Likewise for reproducing them later. Actually, video usually comes out better on dark places than photos.

-Touch pointer can't stand fast moves. Open multitouch test and move your finger a bit fast. Pointer will come after your finger. A bit laggy.

> I used a real case instead. Opened a multitouch keyboard (gingerbread), held my left index finger on shift and my right index finger swiping on the rest of the keyboard. Wasn't laggy at all, letter preview shows up instantly as soon as i go from one letter to another.

-Wireless signal is so poor. I can't connect in my room. (I write this from my room now. Stock JVT.)

> That's just your modem though and you can replace it for whatever works best for you. CM's stock (JVK) gives me the same results as any other modem i used. Always found it a very decent range as i can pick networks from neighbors even 2 apartments away.

-Provider can't understand your phone model so you must set your apns yourself.

> Mine did. I was kind of surprised it did actually, since i'm from portugal. Didn't need to set anything up, just worked.

-I can't see some apps on market with market enabler. I can with stock.

> Not sure how to test this. Can you tell of an app you can't see so i can try it out?

-I have to flash every nightly for a reason. And all needs fix some permissions..

> You don't have to flash them every night. It is actually unadvisable to do so since they are experimental and may screw up something with your phone. Just stick with the stable and if you feel you need to update it, read reviews about what your're flashing carefully first.

-People says you don't have to calibrate battery after every nightly. But cwm uncalibrating battery as hell already.

> You may have been reading the wrong stuff. You calibrate your battery after flashing a new rom. That's it. Poor battery performance is expected after that but evens out after a few charges. And again, you don't really need to flash all those nightlies. Just think about CM as any other rom. Others don't have updates every night either, you just flash it and be done with. Just do the same with CM.

But whatever works for you. Like someone said, no one really cares about what you use, if you feel comfortable with your setup, stick with it - it's all about choice. :)

I just did this because someone said it would take reference from this post for future people searching for reviews and since i get very different results from yours, i felt like reporting mine in your specific bullet points.
