CyanogenMod dramatically improved the experience on my first droid (which was a very cheap one, to see what all the fuss was about.) It couldn't solve the hardware issues (crappy resistive touch screen) but it sure made the device more responsive and usable, in spite of that.
I'm pleased to see them making the install process easier. I wasn't quite heart-in-mouth since it was a £50 second hand and spare phone, but it was still pretty long winded and there were too many opportunities to brick the thing.

- tehwalrus 13y agoMine was a ZTE Racer - http://www.gsmarena.com/zte_racer-3423.php http://www.gsmarena.com/zte_racer-3423.php Because of the resistive touchscreen, I literally had to type using a pen[1] to push the keys, as my fingers (in fact, thumbs since that's what we actually type with on phones) would always hit the wrong key. Once I used the corner of a ruler as I didn't have the pen handy - scratched the screen really badly. [1] retractable with the pen tip retracted.
- csmuk 13y agoSimilar with the galaxy ace. It sucked so badly that you couldn't type on it at all and that had a capacitive screen. My wife had some major surgery and was in recovery trying to text me and I though they'd broken her - turned out to be the phone.
