Re: What's the point?
let us not forget the #1 outstanding reason to flash a rom in the first place...
battery life, lawlz!
stock = pissy
tweaked = slightly better
highly tweaked custom rom = playing with my old imagio flashed to the may 13th NRGY & hellaciously tweaked out. my phone went from 96% SOC to 92% SOC sitting on my pillow for 7 hours after a reboot and i liked to have crapped myself. That's with updates enabled too. twitter (1h) facebook (1h) email (1h) weather (1h)
the stock roms, even every time id tweak a stock rom, can't begin to touch the battery drain non-stock roms can achive. (The lowest # ive seen on nrgy once tweaked out for multiple consecutive loggings overnight set to 60s was 27ma/h = crazy)
performance is #2. they simply run much longer without bogging down. no more reboots or running windows 98 era ram cleaner bs every few hours just to keep it fresh!
