I'm running CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 on my HTC Wildfire (Buzz)
Clock speeds varying from 176MHz to 691MHz using the "SMARTASSV2" CPU governor.
Compcache RAM compression set to 26%

Works like a dream. And better than my mum's Wildfire S in some cases. Just not most :P

I've got a HTC wildfire with Froyo (upgraded from stock eclair using the official update :ha: ) but I plan to root my phone sometime in the future but I keep putting it off because the process of rooting it is so complicated :wacko:

Edit: Rempuzzle, but now phone keeps turning itself off :(

What is a ROM? I just got a Samsung Galaxy S2 so I am new to Android phones.
Think of it as the entire operating system your phone is running.
On the S2, you're running Android 2.3 with the TouchWiz 4.0 layout, and all of the interface (the Android firmware, the TouchWiz skin and everything) is the stock ROM.
Kind of like a Linux distro or something.

Anyway, I'm running stock 2.3.4 on my Galaxy S II at the moment, though I have been toying with the idea of putting CM7.1 on it.
I also recently successfully downgraded my old X10 back to Android 1.6 to relive the old days. :P

I got an S2 as well my advice stay away from cyanogen at the moment, I used it and theres too many bugs at the moment, so much that they've downgraded it from stable to RC, I had issues with it forgetting my ringtones and not making a noise when people rang me, random reboots, and loss of audio at times (music).

Ive experimented with a few roms on my S2, all in all I've flashed about 7 or 8 roms and the best one at the moment from what i've used is

Phone - Samsung Galaxy S II
Rom - Batista 7.0 Version 2.4
Kernel - Siyah 2.0
SetCpu - SmartassV2

The battery life is better than other roms, its quick and has theme support so you can customize it as you want.

Heres the link if anyones interested
Rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162715
Kernel - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263838

Hope I helped

Yeah, I read about the stable being reduced to Release Candidate, so I was going to stay on stock for at least the forseeable future.

I have used CM6.1.3 on my X10 before, which I quite liked, so I might reflash that or another version at some stage.

Oh yeah I prefer cyanogen but thats just cause I'm used to ASOP roms and I like all the tweaks and how ahead of the game they are, but until they've worked the bugs out and I see positive feedback I'm going to stay away for the time being

I accidentally bricked my first android, I know exactly what I did, but I'm never flashing anything ever again... Besides, I managed to make my phone look JUST like how I want it, very nice too! :)

I'm rockin MIUI. I tried going back to other ROMs, and just couldn't. Makes me sad actually.
I hope Ice Cream Sandwich is good though, when and if one pops up for my phone.
