The only thing I use my phone for is PHONE CALLS, texting, and the occasional web browsing session. I find the 6.5 ('official' sprint upgrade) pretty annoying to use when you have to go through 4 steps to text someone, and 4 steps to get back to your home screen. Don't even get me started on the ridiculous method of deleting texts. What ever happened to "tap - hold - delete"?

Sure these ROMS are pretty, but for me, it's useless eye candy. This is why I never updated my 5 year old Mogul. I prefer the plain-jane Windows Mobile look, and it works for what I want it to do.

Don't get me wrong, I am by NO means bashing ANY of the ROMS, but what about those of us who don't need their phone to tell us the weather by flash lightning on their screens, when they are sitting next to a window and KNOW it's raining with lightning?
That's why people have made Kitchens available to do what you want with your phone. I have one of them and been working on my own personal ROM. Its the stock ROM with everything I wanted stripped out gone. Most of them are pretty easy to use. I am by far not a programmer by any means at all but I got it to work.

Most of cooking your own ROM is trial and error and Hours and Hours of reading. Yea its a lot of time invested into it but its a good feeling at the end when you have created something that is you or cleaned out by you. that's going to be the best thing for you if you want a clean ROM and get rid of all the junk is to learn it yourself.

Just wanted to say Thanks to all the Incredible Chiefs out there for the amount of work that they put into creating there masterpieces. I have spent the last few months working on learning how to cook and it really is a TON of work.
