For reference, I haven't had any problems with this ROM (except the documented higher GPS battery drain, a reboot fixes that). I'm running without a theme, default ondemand 245-600 CPU. No FCs, wifi issues (tried 2 routers, open & WPA-secured, SSID broadcast & hidden), good battery drain (<1%/hour idle). I turn off all eye candy & fancy CM features, except the notification power widget, percent batt status, & status bar brightness control. Using Zeam launcher (light-weight), installed all apps internally (105 MB free still, so I don't clog up my phone with a lot of crap). I run with BT, wifi, GPS, 3G data all off except when I need them, sync manually.
Originally coming from stock ROM, I rooted using Gingerbreak 1.20, installed CWM 3.2.0.1 using ROM Manager, then in CWM, factory reset, wiped cache, dalvik-cache 3 times, formated all except /sdcard. Flashed ROM & gapps.zip. Reinstalled all apps from market (didn't restore anything). Reflashed 2 upgraded builds since by just wiping cache & dalvik-cache.
Here are all the bloatware that are safe to remove from this ROM after flashing as tested by myself.
