^^ works really well on a stock ROM
but i would strongly suggest a custom ROM.. i just got a new TP but i was using Juicys ROM found if you click on my sig.... i loved it, its fast! a friend with a stock pro saw it and loved it...
i havent flash a rom yet because im waiting on the next Juicy update.
there are other great custom ROMs out there, just look around and try them out..
good luck
