Installing CyanogenMod 9 on your Orange Stockholm. [NOT Advised]

This ROM isn't a fully woking one so I do not recommend installing it on your device, it is mainly for demonstration purposes, only to show people that development of further O.S is possible and highly probable. This ROM is brought by subpsyke, a developer at [XDA - developers] and valuable forum member. This development is in alpha phase, hopefully in the near future a working version of CyanogenMod 9 will be released for the wider public.

So, the steps to install CM 9:

1st Step: Root your phone, after rooting, you should install ROM Manager. if you don't know how to do it check the following post: Root.

2nd Step: Open the ROM Manager application. Ensure that you have the latest ClockworkMod build by checking the version information in the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery section, and updating if necessary.

3rd Step: Select Download ROM, after that select psyke83. Select ClockwordMod 9, and press the Download button.You will see a popup: ROM Addons. Place a checkmark beside the entry for the Google Apps (even if you already installed the package on your current ROM). 

When the download completes, you'll see a ROM Pre-Installation dialogue. 

Select: Wipe Data & Cache, which means that everything will be wiped from your device, so it is advised to backup your ROM.

Press OK to allow ROM Manager to reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery and perform the installation.When installation finishes, the phone will automatically reboot.
