Always up to date? I don’t think so. This page hasn’t been updated in a while. CM7.2 by vo-1 Miracle is on v4, now, you still have v2.

Hi,

I think the CyanogenMod7.2 RC1 by vo-1 MIRACLE Edition V2 should not be in the section called “Minor ROMS”. I’m using it since 2 weeks ago and it’s the best ROM i’ve ever used on my Ace. Just give it a try! It have the most battery life, no lag, etc.

- Praky G on April 18, 2012 at 5:14 AM said:
  
  I think the miracle edition is a modded version of vo-1. Correct me if I am wrong. If you give the original version link, I will add it to CM builds section.

    Yes, the Miracle edition is a mod of vo-1. Here’s the XDA link to the latest Miracle thread, V3

      See the announcement thread at xda. Should have as it is the most basic feature in all custom roms.

Is cynogen mod 7.1 RC2.2 good???
Can i flash it using CWM recovery mode 4.0.9 on a 2.3.5 Gingerbread.XWKS9???

  For that you will need a CWM flashable package. So usually custom Roms can be flashed with that method. You can flash the stock firmware very easily using ODIN. Search the site for method.
