Pros:

Clean
-
Good Battery Life
-
Apollo Music Player Stands with the best of them
-
Speed Demon
Cons:
-
You Still have to install Google apps separately
(I remember initially that it they were taken out for copyright reasons or it
was against Google terms or something…)
-
AOSP camera apps... It always has and probably
always will
-
No 1080p Video recording
-
Wi-Fi tethering issues (tried two of them from
the market including barnacle which kind of works.)

My Thoughts:
Ok honestly speaking this is one of the top 5 ROMs available
for the HTC Sensation. It flat out just works how you would expect and want
your phone to work. Sadly that cannot be said for about 80% of android ROMs. Of
the AOSP ROMs available this is clearly number 1. CM9 has been by daily driver
since the beginning of September and haven’t really been that interested in
changing to any other ROMs. My biggest gripes with this ROM are Wi-Fi Tether is
buggy and AOSP Camera is terrible. It is also missing 1080p Video recording.
Hopefully CyanogenMod will eventually make or get someone to make a camera app similar to how they include the Apollo music app. If you
are looking for a Fast, Stable, 96% working ROM, I highly recommend CM9.
