...so I went and flashed on a custom, stripped ROM from the Sprint one someone suggested.

It has only about 50 MB of used memory, all the rest is free.

It is quick, light, and responsive.

It does not work properly on Verizon, as the kitchen came ONLY with the Sprint stuff, and running it without those packages eats the phone's reliability and causes some system settings to not function.

It also came with the Leo Youtube, which is rubbish compared to the one that comes with Sense.

My dillemma here is that I used the damn search feature and the only kitchen I could find is useless. All the others used Calkulin's kitchen, which has disappeared from the face of the Internet a long time back, and can never be found again. Unless someone can upload or point a link to the mystical Calkulin's Rhodium Kitchen, there is little hope for me to try a 6.1 kitchen.

While I did find 6.1 ROMs, they are just as loaded and bloated as all the rest. The one with the best promise, the Bare Naked ROM, has issues with things working. Yes, I already tried BNR. No, it did not work for me.
