Gator is 1000% correct. I am a software engineer student (senior graduating in 2months woot!) at Embry Riddle Aeronautical School (look it up if you dont beleive its one of the best SE schools in the states) and the ciriculum consintrates on Emedded Systems which is eactly what these cell phones are. The professionals make their software to directly co inside with the hardware... Thats why they call it firmware and not an Operating System. Windows is one small part of the firmware theres alot of other things there. Start cutting corners you get burned. Where do you think this extra speed in these roms comes from???? They turn stuff off... The professionals decided that it is better for the common good to leave these things on.

Custom roms are cool and all. Fun to play with and fun to get things ahead of schedule (windows 6.5) but these problems do occur. Don't think that any rom made by 1 guy in his free time is better then a rom made by 10 - 20 professionals who helped build the hardward the rom is running on. Thats the facts.... Sorry...

Customs roms were awesome for the mogul cuz the thing was so weak and the stock roms had some minor flaws (no GPS)... But for the TP it is very powerful it has excelent profermance and the stock rom is very well done. The only serious problem is the battery life... So flash your radio and turn on the power save registrys... Done!
