About CyanogenMod

CyanogenMod is an alternative operating system intended to replace the one pre-installed on your smart phones and tablets. If you’ve got an older device that isn’t getting updates anymore, or if your device seems unusually slow, or maybe you’re sick of spyware, adware, and other unwanted garbage on your phone that you can’t remove… Maybe your device is missing features or has been otherwise artificially limited in functionality. Perhaps you just could use aboost in performance. Or maybe you’d like to be more confident that your operating system has included some of the latest bug fixes. If so, CyanogenMod might be for you.

If the ROM stable?

Yes, its completely stable. All the basic functions like calling,Wifi, bluetooth.. almost everything are working. However, the developer has clearly mentioned that its an initial build so it might contain some bugs. So try this ROM at your own risk.
