I have had no issues...

There could be, but I have not seen any to my knowledge. If this is a worry, learn to cook your own rom...

Possibly...You have to know your chef's reputation. I so far have not seen anyone do anything here that was malicious. So far the roms I have encountered are safe. Chefs here pride themselves in their roms, and the big names would never do anyone's device harm. A chef's rom is like a knight's shield, a mothers newborn, or an irishmans beer.

And we do not care what you are doing with your phone, we are not a government agency, just a bunch of geeks hanging out on some guys computer in north carolina somewhere....
