Good for you. The stock sprint ROMs are just fine IMO. The only real bug with it that I ever ran into was it no longer plays youtube HQ videos with sound. You could fix it by installing a cab (probably). I think a lot of the problems are caused by what users do to their phones. Some people install the "tweaks" cab (ie GT2L.cab) that is floating around there or use programs like advanced config to change things. Almost all of these things are just registry edits, and it would be much better to know the specific changes and understand what they do.
Memory usage on just the stock ROM was always better for me then any of the newer ROMs with updated software (ie Sense, etc.) made for newer devices with more memory, better processor, etc. The last time I re-built my kitchen, I started off from just the Sprint 6.5 ROM and added things in, keeping the SYS the same until I was done adding in all of the OEM packages I wanted. It probably took a week or two and I did not have one SOD or any other error based on the fact I was using 21889.
I know everyone has their own opinion, and this is just mine based off of the 100's of ROMs I've built myself using 3 different development kitchens (EVK, OSKitchen, and currently the best OSBuilder
) built from the ground-up from a stock ROM.
