I know I'm asking for it by posting this....

I've had my VZW Touch Pro 2 since the first week that they came out. From day one I was checking PPC Geeks every day with the rest of you guys waiting for the HSPL to drop so I could get back to a custom ROM. Having had the memory deficient VZW TP1, custom ROM's were my life saver and turned the phone from a piece of junk to a fast, stable, very usable device.

Using the TP2 on the stock rom though, day in day out, I was pretty surprised. It wasn't as fast as my tweaked TP1 in some ways, but it's been rock solid stable. By the time HSPL came out, I had done a lot to tweak the stock ROM and really had it working very nicely, almost no complaints, and having tried a bunch of 6.5 ROMs on my TP1, I had not been impressed, feeling them to be slow and buggy.

So, until a few days ago, I've still been stock. But then the VZW 6.5 upgrade came out, not a big deal, but I really wanted that updated radio... time to download HSPL! Got the phone unlocked, and updated the radio. Then I started thinking... well now that I'm unlocked, and chef's have had some time to really put together some nice roms, let me try out the one getting all the props.... 20 mins later I was booting up the MightyMike regular "Windows Phone" ROM.

Now, I've been playing around with this ROM for a couple days, haven't really loaded anything onto it, just my contacts, and my regular settings like screen timeouts and stuff. But in just regular usage, web browsing, loading apps, browsing files... I'm sorry but this ROM seems to be SLOWER than the stock ROM, or just the same speed ins ome respects. I do like that it's a light ROM, devoid of junk, it seems stable enough, but it's not "ZOMG SO BLAZING FASTER" than the stock ROM.

After a couple days, I'm going back to the stock 6.1 ROM.... no disrespect to MM or any other chefs, you guys spend a lot of your free time doing this stuff for us, and I'm sure this is really just a case of 6.5 being slower than 6.1 just as it was with every TP1 6.5 ROM I tried....

But yeah... back to the stock 6.1 for me. I may try the offical 6.5 ROM, just for the hell of it, or try cooking an SSK 6.1 ROM, but otherwise, stock ROM frickin rocks, and I think you guys that say how crap it is might be smoking some good stuff....
