I understand what he's saying but the resolution to that is to just stick with the stock rom. Many of these guys create roms as a hobby. Thou many of them are very good at what they do, its not their life to make a rom perfect... especially when they're not getting paid for it.

I do use ROMS here... but I read review and look at all the issues before I flash. I never flash to a brand new release (I always wait a few days to a week for the bugs to be hashed out). You're right though, I came off a little harsh, but I got annoyed.

I use my phone for work, in my position, I am unable to be without communication for very long so I can't take the chance of having it down for long periods of time ("long" meaning hours +). The only real issue I've had with the phone was one bad flash because I didn't flash to stock first, and memory corruption that I'm confident was caused by an application I installed just hours before the problem happened. The chef's here are great, they are over the top with the support they give. To expect more from them is completely unrealistic. If what they do doesn't work for you, then what they offer is not for you... that's really what I was getting at.

Speaking from experience, being paid to write and support software and getting a demand like this is annoying enough, but doing it for free because you want others to share in your acheivements and getting these types of demands is what causes these great minds to quit offering their work to us at all. It causes burn out to come a lot quicker.
