These custom roms are made by individuals based on thier personal prefrences, like a custom car designer. Which chef has a track record of creating ROMS for a 50/35/15 gaming / texting / calling phone? I currently have a butt load of games on my phone, and text crazy to wife and kids, and finally use it to make calls. I check stocks daily, as well as my Phoenix Coyotes, and of course PPC and XDA. So I need a ROM that allows me good speed for games, stable texting, and internet quickness.
When I flash in the new ROM, if I need any service, I need to return ROM to stock, or just get the relocker?
Internet connection, I keep hearing about tethering. Have no idea what that is. I would do this flashing on my home laptop, which has internet connection via wireless modem to the home desktop. Is that more than enough? And the internet connection is wicked stable, and strong enough where I can use it at the next block.
I think thats enough noob questions for now.
I love my Imagio, but like the look of TF3D 2.5, so am willing to take this step. So one last question, can I brick this phone and make it absolutely unusable, or just loose everything on it after a failed flash before returning to stock ROM?
Ok, one last question. regarding ROM's and chefs, not looking at what I would use it for, who is making the most stable ROM to date? And with all these updates I hear about, to I have to continually unlock, and re-install the update, or is it like a cab that I just download and install?

Jabson, i am by no means a pro like these guys but I can help you with a few of your questions because of actually flashing a ROM or Two.
Once you "Un-lock" once your unlocked for good. You never Un-lock again (Unless you re-lock and want to un-lock down the road)
Yes, these custom ROM's are like custom cars. They put in what they think is best (but mostly take out the useless bloatware)
When they update a ROM you have to start over again.Just like flashing for the first time.
Your laptop with internet connection is perfect. They were talking about having no other internet connection than their phone.
If you want to go back to your stock ROM you don't have to Re-lock. you can keep your stock ROM while it's un-locked.
hoped this helped a little
