Are there any other privacy/security risks?

thanks.
I'm with Bell also. Unlocked with 2.31 Coke, flashed leaked Sprint Rom to get latest radio update, then used the Kitchen to build and flash my own rom. I was trying to keep my custom rom close to original, but the first build was missing some stuff. My second build has been perfect. Been running without issues. Nice to have GPS and WM6.1 + some other goodies.

If you want a copy of my Selections.txt for the Kitchen just PM me.
