CM : Sound's Cool, but What It IS?
CM know as cyanmod, best ROM for any device, which makes your Android device Faster and smoother to its LIMIT beyond your imagination no ROM can beat CM performance Official or from any other DEV.
Different Devs works on Different Device, Every device has its own build, you cannot install Samsung Galaxy S3 CM ROM on Xperia S or on Galaxy S2 or on any other device, if it is build for S3 then it is only for S3.
Why Android Kitkat Is Better
Unofficial Update : What it really means
Unofficial Updates are ROM for Devs all over the world for Android devices, Installing them can void your warranty but if your Phone is already out of warranty then its a bright decision to install and try various ROM available on XDA.
How To Install Various ROM
Its easy as drinking Hot Coffee, hot because it can spoil your clothes(Device) but if you will follow instruction as they are, then you will be HAPPY in the end :)
Where's Android 4.3
Android 4.3 (CM 10.2) is also Under development and is at 3rd phase(alpha 2) You can Download and test it but follow instructions as given WITH POST and for all instruction(to Prepare your phone for installtion) Go here.
REMEBER you device bootloader must be UNLOCKED to install CM ROM, few ROM can be installed on locked bootloader but CM is not one of them You can find whether it is for Locked or Unlocked bootloader at ROM's Post at XDA.
NOTE - Unlocking Bootloader void'S warranty but rooting does not but if warranty is already void(1 year warranty from Manufacture) then unlock your bootloader ;)

Guide for Rooting, Bootloader unlocking and Flashing
INTRODUCTION
Booost Up Your Android
Internet and Device Speed.
Hey guys few days back i brought my first Android (Xperia SL comes with 1GB RAM and 1.7 GHz processor ) i was wondering sometime while multitasking it was lagging! and Internet speed was also slow (2 kbps instead of 16 kbps, India 2G) so where the speed was going.
Reason
A number of process run in background which are not useful for us like some office suit, music player. I dont know why but they run.
Android OS use most of your internet speed.
Solution
1. Stop Unwanted Apps
Use a task killer app like Advance task manager, dont worry it will not kill the app it will just stop unwanted app.
2. Dont help Google
Stop a Google service that use both your internet and RAM called location and google search.
3. Remove All Unnecessary Widget.
4. Backup & Reset
Backup & Reset is google service which backup's all you data to google account but it consumes consumes high Internet data. Its very simple to get rid of it, just follow simple steps given in Picture. Basically what happens your device send all your data to your Google account.
